Further to what Robert is offering...I have quite a bit
of experience in Windows and some in Linux. I wouldn't ask much either as
I still learning. Perhaps the three of us could get together
and Metor each other in different things. I am sure we all have things to
teach each other.
Sounds like a flaky offer I know, but like Robert I
work cheap...love my java's, beer and cookies :-)..and hey.. movie passes are
always cool too.
Feel
free to drop me a line if you wish.
Hi Rod
Saw your email and thought I'd throw
you a line.
I have about 10 years of experience (probably more) in
unix, and five of that with linux. My experience comes both
professionally and by myself. I currently operate a small network here
consisting of linux and windows (mostly linux) and assist in the operation of
approximately 4 other unix/linux networks. I have operated office
networks of 200 workstations running various unix/linux/windows combinations
in the past.
Although I am no teacher, I am sure that I can help you
out with a few technical questions, or even do a few things for you from time
to time. I would not want much in return, a cup of coffee or two, a
movie pass every now and then, and your good reference would probably be
lots.
Give me a shout.

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??
