Linux/Unix Administrator

[Dryden28]

Hi guys

Just curious, is there a major shortage of local experienced Linux Admins? After 1.5 month of advertising, we only gotten about 21 application and out of the 20+ application, 15 are from overseas. out of the 6 local applicant, 4 have never done linux before and the only 1 after asking him a few questions we know he's not suitable for the job.

We pay our linux admin about 4-5k/mth. Is it not attractive enough?

Why not willing to give a chance to those who hasn't done it before? Unless they have a horrible attitude, I don't see why not (at a lower salary too).
