Right there with you, age... not getting rich, still having fun with software & hardware, hoping I'll still be engineering and tinkering 20 years from now! In my experience, from public sector to private startups, if you have the chops to do the job and are able to articulate your skills, I'll hire you.
Creationism, Intelligent Design, whatever. I am reminded of one of the annual International Molecular Biologist's conventions where the hot topic was a sequence of the Human Genome which appeared to have been "gene spliced". Huh? Somebody spliced human genes -- sometime back in what we consider to be ancient history, these top scientists were discussing a fact that several had stumbled across what could only be a gene splice in our DNA. Not evolutionary, this appears exactly like the results of what these people do to earn their living.
Do some googling on the Nephilum, Ananoki, Sumerian, read about the researchers who are still in the process of translating the old clay tablets, learn the difference between the "gods" titled with a little "g" and "God" - they portraied as different entities, little "g" gods were scienctists & engineers, not God. This stuff sort of blows away the fairy tales found in the Christian Bible, Tora & other religious documents.
Vi is was just too much like ed on a DecwriterIII serialed to a PDP11/70, joe is a dream come true for this cp/m z80 Wordstar fan! I've been writing software, web sites and databases ever since exclusively in Joe.
OK, history lesson, anybody remember "ed"? Am I remembering correctly?? After so many years, us old guys get forgetful... Bill's Vi was a bolt on for Ed so we could see a full screen of text, instead of just a few lines at a time, right?
I can see Norm Abrahms, like he has said on sooo many episodes of 'This Old House'... "Steve, the o/s owners are not going to be very happy when we have to tell them that the basement needs to be excavated, the plumbing completely replaced, and that roof just cannot be salvaged!"... "I hope they have the cash reserves to cover out 10B$ estimate!"
My kid really wants the latest SIMS game to run on my redhat laptop. And Diable, etc... Could this bring linux desktops high enough up on the radar screen for game development companies to write linux versions?

Get a job before you graduate, any job. The workplace is not the uni.
Advice from one of my mentors, treat email like a postcard, assume everybody along the delivery route can read it, if they choose to do so.
Quite a few of us graybeards here son.

Is there something akin to the SE Toolkit for Linux?
SE Toolkit always seemed to the one of the "don't leave home without it" tools we must have when working on high volume/high capacity Solaris systems.
Can the latest Linux kernels be tweeked at runtime and boottime as much as the internal of Solaris or HPUX or AIX?
