Bruce, I have not answer as yet for overcoming this tyrrany of distance and
knowledge.  But south of Hobart, is a beautiful area.   There are a lot of
people who would love to live in such a beautiful area.  There are a lot of
fishermen in Tassy, surely they know that u have to use the right bait on
the line and hook, to have a chance of catching the right fish.   If they
put together a residence with cheap rent (package) for an interested tech
that wants out of the rat race.  And then cast in (advertised on the right
Linux oriented lists),  who knows they may get a bite or two.
