Not to sound pessimistic but this is not the impression that I got. I've been looking for a job for the last 6 months and I don't see a lot of offers. Add to that the fact that everyone seems to ask for 5+ years of experience...in everything. Even in technologies such as Adobe Flex (which came out in march 2004) As a general advice, I would says that Red Hat seems to be the distribution of choise, with Suse a distant second. Database skills are also a plus (something I don't have and get turned down becasue of it). And remember that to get the job, you don't need to be a good candidate, you need to be the best one among the ones they interviewed. Of course, knowing the right people also helps. I don't have connections, and my only real source of job offers are the billboards. Good luck!
