[NTLUG:Jobs] Unix/Linux Engineer_Kaztronix

[Christopher Cox]

It's legit.  The job is a fulltime opp.. but depending on the candidate, there 
might be a short trial contract period before fulltime hire.

Granted, they are asking for a lot.  So 7+ years might have to lean more heavily 
on the "+" side.

I just accepted a position... so I wasn't able to interview for this one.

Given the "MUST possess" is still pretty "impossible".. I'd think that somebody 
would get good consideration even if they didn't have all of the "MUST" items.

(just my opinion)
