HostGator offered $35k for Linux Admin Skills?  I'm not a Linux sys admin so I am not sure what you guys get paid however $35k seems a little low, even if it is much cheaper to live in Texas.  What is GD offering?  I know they pay their programmers very well.

Just saying - I got offered 35K to move to TX. I make substantially

is hiring and having trouble finding qualified candidates.
Let me know if you are interested in linux or mysql positions
