Also, it seems a bit unfair to want private advising and deprive the

I have been running fedora 6 for almost three years now, with only minor
problems.

and 3 Server

You are also describing a combined network and I have already abandoned

I would call this Mentor/Advisor a tutor or systems administrator.
What is the pay?
Generally, Linux noobs, until they learn the whole concept of open
