Hello all...
I'm new to CLUG, and I'm sure you get this request
often, so my apologies for perhaps making it again. I've grown up on computers
and have been a hardware nut for over 25 years. But like so many, I have been
heavy into the Microsoft religion for the past decade (or more!).
I operate a relatively active website, and host it
on a RH Linux box. I'm busy creating content for that site and the rest of my
"day job" (I'm a freelance writer / film reviewer), so I've never taken the time
to really learn Linux. Over the years I've hired four different people to do
work for my site. They do their code and then leave for a better job in
California (really... that happened three times!). I'm tired of paying to have
someone "come up to speed," then tell me my site is setup oddly, then they make
changes, and then they leave.
I've come to the conclusion that I need to learn
this O/S no matter what. Is anyone interested in becoming my mentor? I feel I
learn fast, so I'm looking for someone I can initially sit down with for a
couple of hours and ask some questions, then perhaps phone for some additional
"support" from time to time. I'm willing to pay a few bucks for this, or perhaps
trade in some other way (I get occasional movie passes I don't
use).
At this point I'm looking for someone with a broad
knowledge of Linux administration. My site uses an SQL database and is coded in
Perl. As I'm wanting to transfer the site to a different server, I'm focusing on
the Linux admin tasks at the moment. And yes, I've spent close to $200 buying
various books, etc. I've learned a few things, but am still "stuck" in other
places.
I should mention that I live in Calgary. Any
takers??
