Well this is a typical issue it's called the politician shuffle lol.
A politician want to make it seam as though he's doing something so he's bl=
aming an imaginary problem on Linux.truth be told there are tons of Linux j=
obs out there if you are up to date in the right things. This week alone I'=
ve had 15 GUN jobs sent to me by recruiters and on referral from an old fri=
end for an other.
So they are out there. Hell for that matter even my current job the are hun=
gry for more Linux admins but they want people familiar with broadcast vide=
o and iptable too. And my job. Is a union job which means I get time and a =
half overtime and they can't call me once I leave the office withou paying =
me a minimum of $300 just for the phone call.
Infact I've seen a lot of iptable jobs recently it seems to be the most com=
mon recurring theme in job requirements these days.
