[wellylug] Ok, that was dumb of me, but I do have a question...

[Bret Comstock Waldow]

Searching on Seek, and Dice, shows few opportunities to get paid to know 
Linux.

I'm quite in favor of Linux - both to have more understanding and 
control of my own computing, and also to avoid helping what are, after 
all, convicted criminals (and I give credence to arguments M$ has done 
widespread harm in society).

But I haven't worked for a while, and I need to pick what to study.  I 
can work on Oracle and Java and PERL for Windows or for Linux.

Is anyone getting paid to work on Linux?  I don't mind hearing variants 
on "well, we should be", but please be clear whether you know of someone 
actually getting paid to work on Linux.  If I can find a solid enough 
justification to "bet the farm", I would be happier to invest that way 
myself.

My own investigation to date, shows a solid employer bias for M$.  I 
don't like it, but I'm not running those companies - I'm trying to get 
hired by one of them.

Cheers,
Bret
