I'm doing this project for my high school English class. Basically, you contact two professionals working in the field of your choice. However, I'm having trouble finding a Linux (or Unix) administrator to contact.
I know Google hires Unix admins, but the automated system won't get me anywhere. I'm pretty sure Cisco hires Unix/Linux admins, but the person says I have to have a name first.
So basically what I'm asking is, how would I go about finding a Linux/Unix admin for this project?

Thanks for you help!
Most medium-large companies use Unix/Linux. If you've got a bank nearby, chances are VERY good they use it. Engineering firms, and programming firms/groups do as well.
Ask around a bit locally, and chances are you'll find it. Be cautious, though...alot of 'admins' aren't; they got the job because they were the user that could read the manual, and fell into the job. You can spot good admins, because they're bitter and cynical...
