Last time I talked to KC Southern they had a fairly small Linux team. They were working to get the systems that had done those things migrated from an old mainframe to a simulation running on RHEL. They also have a Positive Train Control project - that involves a variety of hardware, embedded devices and such. Also human-life critical. > And their location is subject to the KC MO 1% income tax I assume, > unless they're grandfathered out of it somehow for being a railroad? There are apparently some costs incurred in the provision of the city infrastructure. They can not operate on a pro bono basis. -- Jonathan

CPKC is what used to be KC Southern. They were perpetually looking for a linux admin, to the extent that it looked like they couldn't keep them. They do have some interesting projects like train control systems. -- Jonathan

Sorry about that. I upgraded to the latest Debian and forgot that mailman2 was removed and replaced with mailman3. The docs for mailman3 are fairly confusing and it took me until tonight to fix. Please let me know if you find any issues. Chris
