The boss will be back on Monday or Tuesday. He would like to find a linux and networking specialist. This is an auto dealership and we are not really high-tech at this time. However, more and more of our OEMs are going to web-based systems. This would not be a full-time job for a while but we are growing. One of his major concerns is with afterhours surfing and downloading of materials which could end in harrassment suits and the like. I know that it is primarily a people problem but he would like to CHA by trying to restrict these activities. The server is used for our mailsystem and internet access. It has been totally reliable but we do not presently have anyone looking after it. I will be giving the resumes that I receive, to him this coming week. I wish that I knew more on this but I only became involved because he remembered that I run Linux at home. (and possibly, because I am always pointing out that I never have to reboot my Red Hat box.) Thank you for your responses, Brian Sanders
