I'm a mercenary systems administrator located in Columbia, SC. My first real hands-on experience with open source software was running Apache on FreeBSD webservers in the late 90s and early 2000s. Since then, I moved on to Samba, BIND, qmail, postfix, and anything and everything else that grabbed my attention. I currently support Windows, FreeBSD, Debian, and Ubuntu workstations and servers doing just about everything that you can possibly do with any or all of them. RAH said it best - specialization is for insects!

Counter note: a shebang referencing env perl won't work unless perl is in the PATH env variable... Which it won't be, in the default environment for cron jobs. So if your perl app might ever be run from cron, think long and hard before you use that fancy env shebang.

Sadly, very little about open source there. Most of it is political ranting of the "Ted Nugent for President" variety.

These days ESR spends more time trying to explain why trans people shouldn't be allowed to pee than he spends talking about software. =\
