    I think people who are passionate about specializing mostly have to do so on their own. Nothing wrong with allowing opportunity to be your guide. I enjoy most anything so I tend to be like you CB and just go along for the ride. I'm a generalist and never specialized.

    But if you are passionate about HyperV or SQL Server then there is a lot that you can do outside of work to make yourself specialized to a point where any shop looking to use you as a generalist or for a different specialty would not find you cost effective.

    @scottalanmiller no one is talking about a server. You are injecting that perception. I specifically stated that I use this for ad-hoc TFTP needs when there is not anything in place and I need to quickly use TFTP as a once off.

    I used to install TFTP on my Windows laptop all the time for mobile updating of firmware. How is the MBP any different?

    Chicago gets less snow and wind. But colder.

    I'm not so sure about that.

    You are correct. 'Cuse averages one degree lower in January.

    I was gonna say. I knew it was close.

    What about the big there platforms.... vSphere, HyperV and XenServer. KVM is a pretty minor player and bare metal Windows and Linux are rare today.

    Regarding Linux, especially Ubuntu and RHEL servers - are those rare too, these days?

    You are asking the wrong question. You are asking him if they are big platforms, but you mean to ask if they are rare on bare metal and the answer is.... absolutely. They should be unheard of on bare metal. This is 2014, we are over half a decade since OS on bare metal is a niche use case.

    I meant 'rare' as in 'hardly anyone uses non-virtualized Linux servers these days'
    During early virtualization and 'cloud' days, many of the traditional IO heavy workloads did not move into virtual environments or on cloud due to latency issues. Now with standard cloud instance plans and hosted server plans increasingly available with 'SSD storage' that scenario for IO heavy workloads in Linux may have changed - in general. But are there say 20% of servers running Linux which are not virtualized today?Or is it <5% mostly small and outdated companies?

    One starting point is.... branding. I post as myself. That's really my picture and really my name. All of my social media and all activities that I do consider my branding and I make sure that it is uniform. Articles for publication, facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Spiceworks, MangoLassi, my own websites, etc. Always my name and my picture. No matter what I am doing professionally I make sure that my brand is always well presented - no different than a business would do.

    If, after reading your posts here, I was a recruiter and wanted to find you. How would I do that?

    Glad to see this.. Yes working on it ,:)
