Computer support.

I have experience specifying, configuring, assembling, and testing computers. I have built many computers, including single and dual processor systems.

I specified over 20 Linux workstations for the Jet Propulsion Lab, including the hardware and software configuration.

I built a network which consists of a cable modem, a hardware firewall/router, and a gigabit switch. I wired my house with level-6 Ethernet cable, with 2 or more drops to each room.

I have experience installing operating systems from scratch, applying patches for software upgrades and security patches under Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP, as well as a variety of SuSE linux, Red Hat linux and Mandrake linux systems.
