[Ma-jobs] IT Specialist II/III, (UNIX/Linux)

[Ben Creitz]

Hello!  First of all,   I can't answer any questions about the
position!  That said...

Below you'll find a link to the job posting, and an excerpt from it.
The site is a ten-minute walk from the Rockville Metro Station .  The
Linux/UNIX piece is important... you will be the
"primary caregiver" of a bunch of Sun servers and a growing number of
RHEL servers.  Don't let lack of professional Solaris experience stop
you from applying.  You will need to be very comfortable (and have
demonstrated experience) with some type of *nix, eg RHEL.
