Hi. Welcome. If you're new to non-mainstream (MS Windows) and/or FLOSS or Linux or FSF related software, and wondering where to go next, email me. I'll either help, or try to point you at someone who can. I've been running/using FLOSS since '93, so I should be able to help by now.
FWIW, my last contract was 1.25 years with http://www.exxonmobil.com/" ?ExxonMobil (Midrange Engineering).
I've also done some some fairly slick (though not brilliant) perl coding; my favourite environment.
Philosophy.
Since 1990, I've been a programmer, then system administrator, then independent contractor sysadmin (since '96). I like to consider myself a Kulak (self-employed peasant).
I've worked with commercial Unixes as well as the *BSD's, and quite a number of FLOSS distributions. I installed linux in Sudan, to make them legal. I loved it. I didn't want to come back.
