    WTF(H)... You should be in a different business altogether!

    At least 4 years experience in Red Hat Linux
    At least 2 years experience in VMWare and Virtualization Technologies
    At least 2 years experience in IT Security Compliance
    At least 2 years experience in system management/monitoring tools
    At least 2 years experience in operating systems services (NTP, DNS, SMTP)


    Now I haven't a clue about any of those, so I decided to email a few guys and offer them it at £15/hour. Is that about right for commission?

    If only I'd asked his accountant, I'd have got a quicker response.

    Can you offshore the work? I reckon a few bobs would do it for 15p an hour.
