Looking for a Network and Linux Admin

[[JiF]Dandyman]

I am currently looking to hire a network administrator and a Linux system administrator here and could use the help trying find some good people. I've been looking for some senior people with a fair amount of experience, but have been having a terrible time finding good candidates. As a result, I have opened my search to include junior administrators that may not have a lot of experience, but have the knowledge and lots of potential. The job is in Burlington, MA and will require occasional travel to locations inside and outside of the United States. If you know anybody that you think can do the job, send me a PM and I can setup an interview.
