Two Technical Questions

[lynxreign]

1) Would any of you be interested in a part time position (maybe full time) as a help desk person? You'd primarily be screening calls for the support team where I work. You'd likely also get to learn quite a bit. If you personally wouldn't be interested, do any of you know a student that'd like this job as a sumer job?



2) I've only created wikis on public systems that do the hosting and creation for you. Do any of you know how to set up a wiki on your own server? How hard is it? Do you have a resource that'd show me how to do it? What does it cost and what hardware would I need?


Thanks!

It really depends on what you want it for. Myself, I alternate between hosted ones like pbwili, and single-file ones for personal use (such as tiddly wiki - see this as an example.

I want it to store internal documentation, faqs, user manuals, training manuals and internal online help. Plus any tips or other general information we want to post as a company for use by the it department. A knowledge base.

Ah, well internal stuff will definitely want to be not publically hosted then, unless the stuff isn't sensitive. And the single file-wiki can get strained with lots of info loaded in it, so you probably are better off looking at building your own wiki from one of the distributions available. I don't have any familiarity with them, though.
