Well, i guess this isint too off topic, as it applies to people who use linux their job, but mostly re: your jobs. I moved here from boston, and am kinda outta touch of the tech scene here. Not asking any overly personal details... but what would be considered "average" linux sysadmin salary around here with 2-5 years experience? In boston, i think that you could safely be in the $60K+ range. Along with that, but more vauge... what's an average number of days off a year given to salaried employes? My Employer things we are *above* average at 10 days. Sheesh. thanks for your input. duncan
