is that 4~6 years or 46 years?
considering that linux is around 19 yrs old, it might just be a tad difficult to find the right bloke.
Heh! reminds me of a job ad asking for 5+ years experience on Java when it was just about 2 - 3 years old back in the late 90s :)
In 95 we were looking out for a java trainer and managed to find an Iraqi refugee in Mumbai who new Java. He was hired pronto.
Did you mean "new to Java." or "knew Java." ?
;-). Difficult to say as we knew nothing. But from hindsight, 3 others (excluding me) could whip up some good JAVA code after 3 months of tutoring, it should be knew.
We abandoned java after about a year, as it was slooow and was very constrained (according to the others). I have the Java 1.2 unleashed book. We continued with our older stuff on PASCAL and Delphi until 2000. In 99 my brother got hold of a RH 5.2 cd, shortly after I managed to get a RH6.0 (afair) book and cd for Rs.500 odd, and by 2000 linux was the platform.
