I’ve been doing FreeBSD sysadmin work and using it on my own systems since about 1998. I like its no-nonsene, professional attitude and the simplicity and openness of its licensing. I can build the kernel and OS from source (though that’s not necessary as often as it used to be). Other skills:

• System and security updates
• Security auditing
• Installing and configuring ports
• Networks (including wireless) and firewalls
• Installing and administering services (web, email, etc.)
• Backup and restore
• Scripting admin tasks
• Data mining of log files
• Kernel tuning (sysctl)
• RAID (using arrays of hard drives for redundancy)

I am also the maintainer for the games/xlogical port (a port of the classic 8-bit game), and I’m looking for other opportunties to contribute to ports.

If you need a regular FreeBSD sysadmin or help with any emergency problem, please contact me at aaron.baugher@gmail.com.
