I'm fine with job postings for anywhere in NC at a minimum for the 
geographic requirement, and don't particularly mind South Carolina or 
elsewhere listings. As others have remarked, there aren't enough job 
postings on this list to be a significant percentage either way.

have plenty of Linux to work with here, so I have no current need for job 
postings. But the number of job postings to the list is small enough that 
I don't wear out my delete key anywhere near as fast as I do on the 
off-topic posts :).

I do strongly prefer that a job posting to the TriLUG list describe a 
significant Linux component.
