Hi.
I'm looking for someone(s) to do Linux support work for RimuHosting:
setup people's Linux servers, install Linux apps, troubleshoot problems
and the like. It can be very interesting, challenging work. You get to
play with _lots_ of servers, distros and get exposure, it seems, to any
app that runs on Linux.
For those that don't know, RimuHosting is based in Cambridge and we
provide Linux VPS and dedicated server hosting and support to customers
dotted all around the world.
This job would suit a uni student. Or maybe someone who is looking to
do more than just manage some company's boring old internal servers and
apps.
If you are available to work part-time (with the possibility of full
time work later on) then check out:

If you had any questions just reply off list to me.
Cheers, Peter

Someone offered me the above. I had no need for it, but took it anyway.
Does anyone here have a use for it? If so, let me know and I'll post it
to you.
There's a WLUG meeting tonight:

Ubuntu is so easy even my mum (http://www.wlug.org.nz/YourMum) can use it! And it's really easy to install too.
