i have a simple "test" i've given to prospective employees:

can see what they're doing). i then say "you have fifteen minutes
to tell me everything you can about this machine. go." it will
quickly become apparent how much linux they really know.
That's an interesting test from an employment perspective. What kinds
of information are you hoping they report to you or what tasks do
wish to see them to perform?

partially i'm interested in the results they return, partially i'm
interested in *how* they got the results, and partially i'm interested
in seeing how they work under pressure. there's no "right" answer.
i also like to toss in the occational oddball question to see how
people handle them. one of my favorites is "who is the best james
bond actor and why?" it's not all about ones and zeros :)
Yes it is....
