I am a Linux specialist with over a decade of experience with Linux and other open source systems and applications. If you're thinking of switching to open solutions or need help with your current systems then I can help. Amongst other things, I can offer;

Linux server customisation and maintenance;
Open source systems consultations, recommendations and installations;
Setting up your own web server with Apache and Apache modules, including mod_rewrite for SEO or virtual hosting;
Setting up your own email server - IMAP or POP and including virus & spam filtering, webmail access and mailing lists and web front-ends for simple administration;
Setting up low cost small/home office IT systems using Linux and SAMBA (file share servers)
Installing open source firewalls, gateways, proxies and VPNs (virtual private networks)
Backups to local or remote backup servers; automated backups and easy access to the backed-up data;
Perl programming;
MySQL database design, administration and configuration;
Internet services: Samba, DNS, Firewall, VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Custom-built dynamic websites (PHP/Perl/MySQL);

I have a lot of experience with setting up Linux systems and programming websites and web-based front ends for simple and intuitive end-user systems administration tasks.
My experience also covers web development, web administration (webmaster), database design and administration and server building and customisations.

I'm ideally suited to working on your web development project, or setting up web servers, email server and other internet services, as well as helping you manage your servers once they're set up.
An example of a large, scalable website that I have written is Chortleberry.com - a scalable, database-driven photo sharing community.
