Yea... I know what you mean...  I'm not even an official member of the 
project.. but it does interest me.  I like most of the ideas of the 
libertarian party.. but without actually liking the party as it exists 
today.. if that makes sense.  I also have my eye on a few other 
countries that are doing a better job in this area... and one of these 
days I'm sure I'll be moving to one of them.

I'll clarify... I CAN (and have) done admin work with windows and bsd 
boxes... I've always worked in mixed environments... but my preference 
is to work with linux and other open source software and be able to make 
a good living doing it....  that is what I'm pleased to have been able 
to do...  to stick to the platform I prefer.  I'm also pleased that 
there is so much going on with linux right now that I should be able to 
maintain this approach for the foreseeable future.

It is... but I'm not wedded to it...  if the commute makes it 
impractical I'll look for something in MA.


Thanks for the feedback..
