This is I have to ask: If a company doesn't understand what "Linux" is, do they really want a Linux tech? Why would you want to work for a company that doesn't understand your skill? How would such a company competently evaluate candidates and choose who is most qualified? Maybe it's not a joke. But it sounds equally ridiculous to me. If they're really looking for an M$ nerd who only pretends to know "Linux", that's what they're going to find with advertising like that. > Doing so, especially publicly, provides both a bad impression of you > specifically, and of the Free/Open Source community more generally, > as arrogant and opinionated. That would be accurate. ;) > This person is looking for help, not snarky retorts. Looking for help they are indeed. For starters, someone should (politely, if necessary) inform Mr. Redshaw that "Linux" is not a Windows program... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
