A lot of us at Linuxbeard are Rackers. It’s not an easy place to get hired, but we recently opened up a new training program for Linux admins that doesn’t require the deep experience we usually look for in sysadmins. Sharing it here because some of you could make great co-workers!
Woah we’re famous!

So many Linux beards in one place!
The Alamo Beard Club is holding a beard contest on April 13th to benefit CASA (http://www.casa-satx.org). They do a lot of really good work, and we hope to raise a lot of money to help them do even more good.

Years ago I was a RedHat (KRUD) systems and network administrator. My Linux legacy is having once erased an entire, not-backed-up external Macintish drive with “rm ./* -RF” because I forgot how “recursive” worked and I still do image editing with GIMP (though I use it on Win7 now).
On my way to work early in the morning, -10 degrees. This is a Linux administrator in the Rockies!

I like to think that a BSD beard, camo pants, and Doc Martens is the OpenBSD Look, although this is obviously more of an IRIX photo…
This was taken a couple months ago, but is indicative of my current beard as I have since trimmed it and let it grow out to a little more than this length again.
I’m still hoping it gets more full as I grow it. I’ll be 26 the end of November and my longest mustache whiskers are just barely starting to touch the tops of my chin hair. I also hope the baldish spot in the middle of my chin fills in.
If you’re religious, please keep me in your prayers to the ghost of Dennis Ritchie that my beard may erupt into Unixy glory!
And if you’re interested, here’s what I use on my Thinkpad X220 Tablet. (Debian, Openbox)
Took several years to grow… Wife is still not happy as I refuse to declaw my beard.
Boys shave, men burn their fucking beards off.
In the sad event that one must part with his beard, this is the only acceptable method.
