</div>So you want Linux experience, but you're not willing to put too much<br>
effort into it... good luck with that.<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Well, there are other ways to get some experience. For example, <a href="http://www.arbornet.org/free_shell_accounts.php">http://www.arbornet.org/free_shell_accounts.php</a> will give you a free shell account.<br>
<br>For a small amount you can get a VPS (for example, $5.95/mo at <a href="https://www.burst.net/linvps.shtml">https://www.burst.net/linvps.shtml</a> ) and host some websites on it. (it's only $5/mo if you pay a year at a time)<br>
</div></div><br>Running a Wordpress MU and mailman list serve for your buddies can get you some really good experience. If you really want to generate some traffic to the cialug mailing list run your own DNS server. I'll bet you could find someone who would trade secondary DNS service with you. All combined you shouldn't have any trouble making back your $60/year and you'd gain some excellent experience.<br clear="all">
