Linux Skills in Demand

 

Apparently, skills that are still in high demand despite the recession are those of a Linux sysadmin. Foote Partners, a research firm, just released its list of hottest noncertified IT skills and Linux was listed as number 2.

Curt holds 7 patents and is the CEO of a resource management software company.
