Sounds like a nice job.
I'm currently employed but I'll see if anyone I know is up for it, kudos for posting it here. ETA (geek comment) Have you tried the debian/*buntu LAMP setup? Much easier to maintain and have a much longer release cycle/life span that Fedora IMHO. I run RHEL4/5 on the mission critical servers at work (required by audit) and use Debian stable for all the other Linux servers. |

I run RHEL4/5 on the mission critical servers at work (required by audit) and use Debian stable for all the other Linux servers. I've pretty much tried most systems out there. I've been running Unix systems since the '80s. My first Unix machine was a Sun running SunOS on a Motorola 68K LOL! I've steered away from Debian since it was going through so much political infighting around 2002 or so. I've looked at Ubuntu, but while it was great for a desktop, it was kinda lacking on the server side for what we were doing. I REFUSE to pay the insane license fees RedHat wants for Linux, so that throws out RHEL. Besides, I've never forgiven them for that glibc switch in the late '90s that broke all my stuff. Our shift to Fedora as a server platform is relatively recent. We were running CentOS on the server side and Fedora on the desktops. At some point though running different distros just isn't worth it, so we've consolidated. It is a kewl job though. We have company range days every now and then. The pricipals are also veterans, one Army and one Navy, so the verbal skirmishes can be down right hilarious at times.  It's a really good no BS kind of environment.

Cool, I've tried Fedora as a server platform but Ive found that the shorter release cycle to be a PITA, I never had much luck upgrading from one version to the other when a release became deprecated either (not saying someone else doesn't, just a PITA for me), "apt-get dist upgrade" really shines for that. I don't really like rpm based systems that much but our choice was RHEL or Suse (*buntu wasn't on the market yet) so we went with RHEL. Since it's so damn expensive I use Debian "stable" on my mail relays, cacti servers etc. I had a mail relay online for almost two years and it had a motherboard failure when the UPS it was plugged into crashed and burned 
If there was a commercially supported Debain platform at the time we would have went with that. You guys probably aren't having a shortage of applicants but Mehmet Kalink over at Gwinnette Tech heads up the IT program. If you call and talk to him he could probably refer some star students from their Linux admin program for you to look at. |
