[wplug-jobs] Entry Level Linux Sys Admin Needed!

[Pittsburgh Filmmakers Institute]

Hiring a systems administrator for a multimedia school. Start date would be 
early January 2014, possibly a little before. I am hiring a replacement for 
myself, as I have been offered a Linux-related job out of country. I'll be 
honest: the pay is not great and the job is a sometimes uncomfortable mixture 
of Sys Admin plus Help Desk plus Mad Scientist.

But if you are just starting out in the world of systems administration, this 
job is for you. There's a LOT of room for creativity, a lot of room to come up 
with new ideas for the network and implement them. It will be a great title 
for your CV, so grab this job now and use it to your advantage!

The ideal candidate will be a GNU nutcase; you must refuse to use proprietary 
software unless placed in a strangle-hold by your users. I have worked a LONG 
time promoting free software in this independent multimedia environment, and I 
want my replacement to take that up one more notch. You must therefore know 
GNU, Linux, Unix, and networking. You must be a self-starter; otherwise you 
will find this job boring and laden with bothersome users. If you take this 
job as an opportunity to develop new systems for your users and to promote 
assemble a better network and system than what you found when you got here, 
you will find this an AMAZINGLY fulfilling job. I speak from experience.

- Linux server administration: RHEL and to a lesser extent Debian/Ubuntu

Must-Not Have:
