required.

Waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat about the latest
OpenSSH remote root exploit a plus.
# Must be an expert in Linux system administration - shell scripting,
Perl/Python, RPM, patching/configuring Linux kernels (2.4.xx),
identifying and updating out of date packages, etc. Must also have the
maturity to know when NOT to upgrade or install the most bleeding edge
version of (whatever) and why.
# Demonstrated experience tuning Apache, PHP, MySQL for optimum
performance (hundreds of concurrent connections).
# Experience with server/network monitoring systems (Netsaint/Nagios/etc)
a big plus.
# Experience tuning SQL queries, tables, indexes, etc. for speed a big plus.
# Web development experience with PHP, Perl, and/or Python a big plus.

configuration/admin pages and metrics/statistics pages for use by
non-technical users.
