I was approached by somebody to help out with a Linux project.<br>
The thing is, I don't know how much to charge (by the hour). I have not<br>
yet finished my bachelor's in CompSci, and have no formal Linux<br>
training. I have been using Linux for years, and am currently employed<br>
as a tech support person (windows and Linux systems).<br>
So, what is a good asking price? What is the market like?<br>

Note that there are tax implications, you have to pay taxes based on the income being above your current income. You should also look at your current contract, you may have agreed not to work for anyone else.<br></blockquote>
