[ale] [ALE-jobs] Fwd: Urgent Job Opening for Linux Administrator in Alpharetta, GA

[Richard Faulkner]

I'm "contracting" right now but am doing so as an in-between.  I have
done freelance as full-time and done that for years at a time.  My last
major customer was Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouses General Offices in
NC from 1990-98.  Since then I've been mostly full-timer but some
contract.  Now I'm 100% contract but just now getting ready to look
full-time in this market for traditional employment.
