[wplug-jobs] Looking for an IT / Linux job

[John Phelps]

Recently separated from the Air Force (honourable discharge). Looking for a
challenging job that allows me to apply my Linux and IT skills.
I have created and released a custom version of Linux based on Debian called
"Outernet Server".
Temporary positions are acceptable and I can start Immediately.

Sorry about posting a resume to the jobs board, but the availability of
entry to intermediate level jobs online is staggeringly low.
