Codeweavers says Crossover will run it.  I'm wondering if it will run
under WINE.

Wes,

I don't think I saw a reply to your post.  Based on your experience,
you might be able to find a position as a junior level admin.  You're
not ready to run an organizations'  *NIX platform on your own, but you
can certainly get some experience from those who do.  I just did a
quick Google search for "Junior Linux administrator twin cities" and
had a few hits.  Here's a search on Indeed:
https://www.indeed.com/q-Linux-System-Administrator-l-Minneapolis,-MN-jobs.html
That turns up a bunch of openings.

LinkedIn is becoming more prevalent in helping you be found by
recruiters.  Yeah, you'll get a lot of junk from recruiters, but you
can start to get a feel for what's out there.  There's good stuff out
there too.  I actually had a recruiter from Pandora (yes THAT Pandora)
reach out to me about a storage admin position.  A tuned up LinkedIn
page can get some decent hits, if you're willing to invest the time
(and put up with the garbage).

Feel free to contact me off list if you have any questions.

Brian

I've been backing away slowly from LinkedIn.  I think they
are giving recruiters too much power and the recruiters
are more than just a nuisance.  Before that I backed away
slowly from Google and now use https://duckduckgo.com
.  Possibly Google and LinkedIn are partnering..

I might advise the OP to become an entrepreneur and
start a social media site.

I wouldn’t listen to this advice. In fact if you read a lot of the ideas that Brian posts in this group you might realize that unless it’s specifically about his searches for a BSD or OS solution most of it is polarizing.

As an FNG I wouldn’t push for single-platform specificity. I’m a web developer that got into security integration for almost a decade before landing back in full-time IT. It’s a long road at times and I wish I was 10 years younger.

That’s really all I have to say at this time. And I’m certain I am not the only person here that would say this. Just the first one to speak up.

I think this is a very relevant topic these days, so I would like to 
perpetuate it. And I will certainly show my age, incompetence, and polarity.

A lot of young people have good reason to ask where to turn for 
survival. As regards Linux, it is certainly a lot more than a network 
tool. It is a reference library.

Out here in the boonies I feel stuck listening to hillbillies on the 
right, commies on the left. and below zero temperatures with two feet of 
snow. To survive I focus on food, energy, shelter, and if I'm lucky 
enjoy digging into linux and computing deeply. Recently, learning the 
wonderful multi-platform open source (with only linux remaining) 
free-pascal free-vision programming I took a dive into learning what all 
the keyboard codes were (because they were listed as constants in a 
file). For those of us old enough to have used a typewriter, the 
computer keyboard was a big new advancement. Turns out the "scan codes" 
are created by a microcontroller from the keyboard matrix and sent by 
synchronous serial to the motherboard, which also powers the keyboard. 
That's a lot of industrial automation to be copied, and industrial 
automation is survival.

Months ago I described biofuels, biochar (black dirt), and a number of 
related efforts. Now I see the Minnesota commies want to turn off our 
electricity without a plan to replace it. And the corn and bean farmers 
are stuck in market reality again.

Every year I've looked to hire help. But I don't do social media, and 
kids just won't fight the elements. I don't know how urban economics can 
work without food, shelter, and energy skills. And without linux 
industrial automation, what do you have??

I assume someone is doing something wrong out there.  (Not me, though ;-) 
But I think Andrew Lloyd Webber's net worth is at around $1.5 billion, so 
I think he'll survive the loss of revenue.  I was looking for a book to 
buy, but I didn't find one, and I did find this, so I went with it.

As the owner of a business currently fighting a local school over a federal copyright claim it’s not the loss of income but the precedent it serves.
