My company just hired a new Linux sysadmin less than a week ago. This is a serious job with a decent compensation. Of course, our last guy took a job with some search engine company out west, so this is really a replacement, not a new position. Still, we have submitted requests to hire two more folks, and are hoping for the go ahead in the next few weeks. I think there are good jobs to be had in this area, but they are not falling from the sky like in the late 90's. One other note - we hired the first guy we interviewed for that sysadmin position. There were not a thousand candidates for one job.

Well, I didn't even get a reply from a single one of the recruiters I

Well, read this list. Notice that there was a job posting right before and right after your post. :-)

I'm coming down the weekend of July 9-10th and if there's a favorite
part of the area you think I should see, or a part that you think will
scare me back to NY, let me know offlist.

I'd love to stay for a TriLUG meeting but my wife would probably kill
me :)

Just as long as she lets you come to TriLUG meetings when you move down here, we'll let you slide this once :-)
