Know anyone who needs a jr. admin?

Hi all,

As some of you know, I have been spending this last year looking over 
RHEL administration material, and most recently Bash and Perl scripting 
materials using LinuxCBT training videos and taking alot of notes.  I 
also played around with installing some stuff on CentOS VMs

The reason for this initiative spawned from having a job which is a 
non-technical role and having downtime to study and stay up to speed the 
best I can on my own.  I have been in this position for about 6 years 
and I know it won't look too hot on an IT resume.  I am quite eager to 
get into a junior position where I can get some practice and build my 
skills.  I have a strong interest in TCP/IP and lean toward that rather 
than software development (although I dabble in a number of languages 
C/C++, Java, etc).  Learning Cisco stuff is another goal of mine, but I 
am focusing now on Linux administration.

I have been out of an IT job for some time, but managed computer labs at 
UT in the 90's for about 5 years (mainly Mac and Windows workstations 
and servers back then).  I went to program for a couple of years before 
industry layoffs ensued. Throughout the 200* decade, I have maintained a 
good book collection and try to stay on top of things on my own.

Ultimately, I would like to ask if you or your colleagues might know of 
something such as a jr. admin position that would be a good fit.   I am 
dedicated to tech and do my homework when I have systems to work with.  
I can pass along a resume if you know about something.  Please let me 
know- I am pretty open to ideas, and want to get back into the thick of 
things as soon as possible.

Looking forward to it, bring your questions and I'll be happy to go
way off-topic :)

Thanks,

That's pretty neat.  If only it interfaced with my phone, I could just
dump my whole brain in there, and find everything while I'm out
walking around.  :-D
