Greetings,

The subject says it all, but I'll post a little bit more in here..
My name is Tom Whiting, I've been running and administrating Linux systems for 7+ years, and am now offering my services for a limited amount of clients.
What exactly do I do for clients? Whatever needs done as it relates to system settings (not personal websites, or professional websites). Installing, upgrading various packages, performing security setups ( no server can ever be 100% secure online, though I do my best to ensure that the major stuff is covered), solve problems with servers and the like.
Here's just a brief overview of what I do for clients (certainly not all inclusive, but a general overview):

System Monitoring (with the proper packages)
This involves your server being monitored on various ports to check and see if it's alive, and if it's not, me going in and finding out what the problem is (http, mysql, dns, etc), as well as load, memory, network and drive space reports being sent out, and made available to all monitoring customers through the ltn-monitor website. In addition, system resources (drive, cpu, processes, connections) are monitored and if outside of acceptable parameters, I am notified immediately via cell.

System Scan
I run system scans on a quite frequent basis, of all of the servers I administrate. If there's something lacking, or behind, I make recommendations for upgrades (or in some cases just upgrade). Scans will be available for customer browsing in the next few months.

Software Installation
Please note: this is NOT web software installation (ie: php-nuke, etc), I do this on a case by case basis, but as a general rule I don't.. This IS rpm based software, compiled software, apache, php, perl modules, etc.

24/7 On Call
My SMS is given to all clients on signup , and is active 24/7. This is ONLY for emergency usage.
Obviously, there's a great deal more that's done, all you have to do is contact me (http://www.linux-tech.net/contact.php)

In 7+ years, I've managed to gain a better than working knowledge of Linux and the like, and I offer those services to clients at a rather affordable rate.

Need outsourced support? I can handle that as well. With the experience I have in both CPanel and Ensim, and the working knowledge I have of Linux, client based support is always an option. Please contact me (http://www.linux-tech.net/contact.php) directly for information about this.
