It Soviet Russia, Space Yeast eats YOU!

Would this apply to Clinton's home email server? They couldn't even bother getting a real cert; or turning off the web admin stuff.

I think their looking for RHCVA's and such, because those people can do official "warranty" or "support" work, have access to RH's support system, etc. As to the quality of employees with them, well...lol

I'd say for a famous Hollywood person, it's more difficult than others. He's got the money and the fame to get anything he could possibly want; he can't just walk away from all his "enablers" and "fellow addicts" but must continue to work with them. Breaking out of that must have been far more difficult than any role he's every done...and IM3 allowed him to show it a bit, I don't think all his PTSD emotions were all just acting. I'll say he probably had a worse time during those first few "sober" weeks / months...it actually made my skin prickle a bit...I've seen almost the same look in the eyes of addicts who have also fought and become sober.

I do feel that RDJ's personal experiences really did help with Stark's PTSD issues in IM2. He tried to get them to go into the alcoholism more, but the studio said "no". But I could tell he was pulling on his real, addict-year experiences there in those scenes...and it came across as very authentic. And his "Did you just nod off?" comment to Mandarin in IR3 was VERY pointed for us who have been or are close to people who have fought with addiction. RDJ has fought a very difficult battle; no matter what others may think even with all his $$$ getting yourself clean is a hard fight with internal demons. If anything, having all that money and fame probably made it harder for him to go sober...

In a weird way, he personally is an example to others that addiction can be managed and "defeated" to the point of having a "real" life. The war is NEVER won completely, the cravings NEVER go away...seeing anyone climbing back up the ladder and taking the reins of "the wagon" like he has is inspirational.

LOL honestly your probably over-qualified for the jobs! I know I am at my job, but it's great getting paid to watch netflix all night...nice CPU, btw

NIBIRU! hahahahahahaha

WOOT! Gyrojet high-explosive ammo! That brings back memories of Star Frontiers RPG...damn, 1982...makes me feel old LOL.

Also, don't forget "start a fire for a man, keep him warm for the night. Set a man on fire, keep him warm for the rest of his life!"

They want RHEL certifications that deal with the Cloud, specifically. These certs enable better support from RH, streamlined patching, etc. Like Cisco "engineers" have TAC access, and that is a major point to the cert. At my job we submit crash / debug reports to Red Hat support all the time; eventually they come back with some patches or a work-around. HR isn't looking for some basement dweller running Slackware on a 386; these are people who can virtualize existing systems, integrate Cloud redundancies, and work with established API's for meshing. Virtual networking is pretty new too. My company (HP) has a VAST amount of virtualized WINTEL on ESX...literally thousands of servers for hundreds of companies, at multiple data centers. Tying all of this together and keeping it all working is quite complicated LOL.

these job descriptions are Cloud Engineers really. Even an MS shop can't deny the lack of MS in the Cloud, Azure is new and shaky compared to Red Hat's ESX. Capturing VMWare and Novel is proving to be a boon for everyone involved, it's a serious force inside the data center.

That stat is also counting a vast amount of virtualized servers that used to be stand-alone that technically run BOTH Windows and Linux. They are Windows servers running on top of ESX, Red Hat's name for VMWare's virtual OS. The actual hardware can be Intel, AMD, PowerPC (older Sun boxes)...anything Linux can run on which is why it's made such inroads into the market in a "backdoor" way. Your old hardware is failing, virtualize it. Now your running Linux too! Unless you use HyperVisor...but M$ doesn't scale well to a data center level no matter what "Datacenter Edition" 2012 claims HAHAHA.

These are Cloud Engineer jobs, thus RHEL is the OS for it. VMWare is huge in the cloud, and the Cloudstack etc...the right employee could take your in-house system and virtualize it into some cloud service, or pull Cloud services into the network environment tighter. Having multiple cloud redundancy servers is becoming more and more standard. I work at HP, and we already have several data centers for already existing virtualized clients; and we've just started marketing it externally. I guess we have to do SOMETHING with those two EDS datacenters we inherited...but we are one of the few divisions actually making money and are 7% higher than forecasted.

LOL "well documented" indeed. I work at HP, and it's over-documented sometimes to the extreme. Our clients demand ITIL level documentation on everything, we have two different SharePoint pages because of all the documentation. We also have vast amounts of Linux on the backend, I daresay you can't make an airline reservation without using RHEL somewhere in the back. It's all used with VMWare, massive virtualization, etc. So are these job descriptions...especially with the CloudStack requirements it looks like all these companies are hiring virtualized cloud engineers. Win for Linux, with solid software and hardware, including Sun support (which is a big deal at the moment). M$'s HyperVisor / Azure just doesn't cut it for needing to do MILLIONS of transactions per second with mainframes LOL.

These skillsets are for virtualized network / system engineers. I doubt any company you've worked for deals with this level of tech. Your puny server is just another data set inside my datacenter filled with Blades.
