I've been trying to decide for a while what makes a good home for a Network=
Admin... access to physical, reliable upstream routes? good selection of l=
ocal taverns? What, in your opinion, makes a good location for a Network Ad=
min and where in the US would you find that?
Also, I'd like to introduce myself [[ o/ ]] I've been watching the list for=
a while now and have found it helpful with picking up some "best practices=
", getting use-case scenarios you might not see in text books. I attended M=
ichigan Tech for Computer Networking and System Administration and have bee=
n bouncing around for a couple of years trying to find my calling. I've bee=
n working a lot with VoIP and that's been my interest ever since middle sch=
ool. I've been mainly playing with stub networks for most of my life but ha=
ve recently started working with larger routed networks, leading me to subs=
cribe to the NANOG list. My latest endeavor was acquiring and ASN and a /24=
from ARIN and multihoming a very small MSP. I've been fortunate enough to =
have really sharp mentors to help answer any questions I've had along the w=
ay. I know there must be quite a few people like myself that are lurking on=
the list and I just wanted to thank you guys for answering other questions=
and providing input on topics that have come through the list.
TL;DR: Hi, see subject
