Linux Administration

topLinux/Unix

I have experience installing, configuring and maintaining many different services on *nix boxes, including MySQL, Apache, PHP, BIND, Apache, SSL, SSH, SFTP, ProFTP, Sendmail, Qmail.

topApache

I have been using Apache for 13 years now. I am intimately familiar with Apache 1 and 2. I have installed and maintained many different Apache installations, and have built applications to monitor apache services. I currently run Apache 2 with many mods and have extensive experience with mod_rewrite.

topQmail

I first began using Qmail in 1999. I have extensive experience with all of the packages listed at QMail Toaster.com. I built my first mass-mailing application on QMail. It allowed us (a web hosting company) to give our clients access to a mass-mailing solution that integrated with their website, and allowed us to keep a watchful eye out to ensure no spamming was going on.

topSendmail

I have too much experience with Sendmail, enough so that whenever I can, I replace it with Qmail. =)

topBind

I have successfully installed and maintained my own Bind installation for about 6 years now.

topSSL

I can install and configure SSL for your server, be it for HTTP or some other purpose.
