#233959 - 19/09/2004 16:11 I need an exit
SuperQ addict Registered: 13/06/2000 Posts: 429 Loc: Berlin, DE	I'm thinking about moving out of the US to somewhere in europe. I was hoping some of the people here might have some ideas. I'm a linux/unix sysadmin, I currently work for a university supercomputing center running linux cluster systems. My partner is a technical writer for cray, and she also speaks finnish fluently, spanish reasonably, and has been working on a little bit of french. _________________________ 80gig red mk2 -- 080000125 (No, I don't actually hate Alan Cox)

schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	There's a lot of UNIX sysadmin work in Finland. However, it's not a particularly easy place to live. I would always recommend the Netherlands - I live here - as it's an excellent place to live. It's just a bit flat - if you're a hill walker, well - forget it. _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

Alcohol is prohibitively expensive - a shot of whiskey in a bar will cost you over 10 quid! Having said that, it's an amazing place for winter sports, so if you're into snowboarding or skiing, you are set. _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015
