Decide what you want to do with your life. Update your resume accordingly. Start the search for your new job. In the meanwhile, keep your head down, assuming you need to be employed. Your present employer is not worth a tinker's dam, or they would at least be improving your compensation. When you eventually submit your resignation, if they throw money at you, smile politely and leave.
Why not? I am off-grid with two sets of solar panels (house and well). Did the whole thing mysef with a little help from my friends at Home Power. Not a problem unless you're totally clueless, which, being a Slashdot reader, you're obviously not. Got to homepower.com, buy the CDs.
Wage slaves, eh? Forgetaboutit. You want a union? Like the grocery workers that get ten bucks an hour while their union president makes $500K? We all have the right to give the employer the finger, and I think that the consensus here is that that is the appropriate response.
Reading Ken Barber's "review" of Fedora Core 2, what strikes me most is his sense of entitlement. What I mean by that, is that he seems to feel that he has a right to expect certain things of FC2 (or any disto, for that matter) and that he has a right to be angry (is that too strong a word?) if they are not fulfilled. And he's not alone in that. I read the Fedora list, and I am amazed by the anger in some (few, fortunately) of the posts -- the XT dual boot problem, for example.
Not to be a Polyanna, but every time I sit down at my Fedora Core 2 / Gnome 2.6 system, I am amazed at how well it works, and how thousands of excellent developers all over the world have contributed, alowing me to receive -- at no cost -- software that would cost thousands of US$ in any other environment.
