While we are trying to fit everything into Combust, we've been considering using UML on perl.org to make it easier to host sites or projects where Other People needs to be able to login with ssh or do other silly things like that.

I spent most of a weekend tampering with it a while ago and got a Debian system to boot. Yay. Then I setup networking and the kernel on the host box decided to panic. Oops.

So, we are looking for an expert in such matters to help us get setup and preferably also to maintain the UML system. We'd prefer to run RHEL on both the host and the UMLs, but we can be convinced otherwise I think. At least to Fedora.

If you have experience with UserModeLinux and are the expert we are looking for, please send me an email. We can't offer any monetary compensation, but you'll be rewarded plentifully in Good Feelings and Fun Work. :-)

I noticed that people would sometimes link to the Artistic License at OpenSource.org when they were referencing the Perl License(s). That seemed rather silly, so we[1] put up the GPL and the Artistic License as used by Perl5 on perl.org.
