Comparable salaries for Linux people?

[Matthew Gillen]

Have you checked out glassdoor.com?  I haven't used it for HR purposes,
mostly to see how I compare to other people/positions in my own company (I
don't have enough experience to usefully compare job-titles across
companies, especially non-Fortune-500 companies).  It's company+job-title
based, but since you know what companies your hotshots went to, you should
be able to figure out ballpark values.
