[ale] [JOBS] Sr. Systems Administrator positions

[Jeff Hubbs]

Don't you mean "low" standard, at five-plus years?  I'm currently being 
officially called "senior" at 22 years, so as far as I'm concerned, the 
distinction is arbitrary and shouldn't be considered to be any more than 
that.

As for what's in the description, it seems to me that if you are being 
constrained to using Red Hat, the position isn't exactly "senior."  My 
observation has been that RHEL shops take on many of the same 
implementation and integration hassles as Windows shops...it wasn't so 
much Windows per se that I sought to distance myself from a decade ago 
as it was those hassles!
