Linux behind MP3.com, Sep 12, 2000

MP3.com has entire crew that reads /. first thing each morning. We're about 94% linux based, some solaris and some other operating systems in very limited corners of the operation. The engineers here are very sharp. Are you the lone Linux, Perl, Apache monger at your shop? How would you like to work with a group of fifty engineers who love all the same things you do? The author of Grip works with us as does a recent speaker at Apachecon 2000 and we've got one of the creators of Geko (mozilla rendering engine) as well. We've got some really good Linux Kernel hackers and our systems administration team is first class. Is hardware or bandwidth a scarce commodity at your place? Not at MP3.com, we keep at least 50 dual 500Mhz, 36GB, 1GB ram systems inventoried at all times. We've also got several gb outbound links from our data centers. Without giving away the whole store, between 10am and 2pm we serve upwards of 550 mb/sec (megabits per second) If you recognize that as a lot of traffic, consider sending your resume :-) michaelg@mp3.com
