Re: Looking for a Linux System/Network Administrator [Was: Re: PLUG Digest, Vol 102, Issue 42] (Jonathan Duncan) 9. Re: Home wiring. (Richard Holden) I'm looking for a Linux System/Network Administrator. Someone with a diverse but solid linux background. Someone who can hit the ground running. I'm looking for someone comfortable in the command line, knowledge of the internals, system configuration. This is a hands on job you be implementing, supporting, handling day to day operations. There is windows involved. If you have windows administration skill this will be useful. I'm looking for both experience and education. Experience with virutalization on a Linux platform preferrably Xen, but KVM will do. Networking knowledge will be a must.

Cat5e is sufficient for most use cases, but choosing Cat6 will likely be more future proof, and probably worth the higher cost. Running fiber is still too expensive and generally not worth the extra cost and complexity (fiber, converters, switches, etc) for the minor benefits (possible future capability of 10gE). Also, Cat5e or Cat6 will likely get you at least 10 years of usefulness before the need to replace it. You might also want to consider running the wire through conduits. This will make the change to something else in the distant future much easier. However it will increase your costs dramatically. You'll have to weigh the benefits of doing so with your budget, future plans, etc. Wireless is convenient, but if you are remodeling anyway your barrier to start on real wiring is so low, it's an obvious win. If you don't want to wire it yourself, there are tons of companies that do wiring professionally. I personally recommend TCS (http://www.tcsphones.com), a local provider in SLC. I've been working with them for years, good prices, great work, and amazing service. You actually can run 10GbE over Cat6 and 8P8C ("RJ45") connectors if you really want to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-gigabit_Ethernet#10GBASE-T). So yes, Cat6 up to 55m, or Cat6a up to 100m should be good up to at least 10GbE. It's not completely future proof, but it'll be pretty good for a while. 10Gb/s should be enough for anyone, right? The switches are very expensive right now, though, and the switch latency is higher than the SFP+ 10GbE solutions, since the line encodings built into the 8P8C PHY are much more complex than those in the SFP+. I agree that, especially in a residential application, fiber doesn't make sense yet, possibly not ever. But Cat6 might also do better than you thought.

There's a lot of infomation there about what you're looking for, but no mention of why you're looking for them. Any additional info?

I daresay that a good majority of this list would fit that list. Well that might be a reason for posting it here then. Didn't we have someone awhile back looking for a windows admin? I mean the title was Unix/Linux sys-admin but the entire description was about windows technologies.

Having your house wired makes it extra easy to drop wireless extenders wherever you may need more signal. On 17 Jun 2013, at 13:10, "S.

If you do the wiring yourself buy some string (possibly waxed) and run it along with your cables. That way if you need to add more you start from one end tie on the string and pull from the other. easier than trying to re-fish a new cable alongside the others. -Richard Holden _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@plug.org http://plug.org/mailman/listinfo/plug /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
