How did you learn Power-shell scripting?
any books worth looking at? Looking at expanding some more, and I know Automation makes jobs way easier.

This (https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/GetStartedPowerShell3/01) combined with doing tasks in PowerShell. In my opinion, as others have states, it's easier to learn via doing tasks. Added bonus is you complete a task with PowerShell or script it, then see if / how you can improve your script.

I'll do it along with my current job for $37 an hour. You don't need to pay health insurance then.

Did you miss the in St Louis requirement?

Pitt to St Louis, easy commute once every two weeks.

I might need to crunch numbers about Atlanta to St. Louis

Not quite sure what to say, but I'll respond to what seems to make sense to me.

From a "what workstation OS do I choose for my business?" perspective, I'd say that's largely going to driven by applications you need to us. If you live and die by desktop Adobe products, then a Linux distro isn't for you. If you're mostly using web apps, then OS really doesn't matter.

As far as peripherals and a Linux distro, I've had only minor pain with printing (one day, I need to take the time and understand CUPS more). I can say that printing pain isn't isolated to a non-Windows OS. Where I work is a Microsoft shop with Citrix XenApp, and printing is annoying at best. My personal laptop is a System76 machine running Fedora, and the only hardware issues it's had were not Linux-related (power plug issue, and a display cable that went bad).
