"meager benefits", I wish. I have a specialized degree and nearly 15 years of experience in CRM, and I have absolutely none. No vacation, no sick leave, no health insurance, no retirement, nada. And essentially no chance of that changing without going back to school to get a master's, and even then no guarantee. I hear legends from time to time of field techs trying to unionize back in the 90s and getting blacklisted, hopefully this time it takes off instead.

I'd suggest checking out the official installation instructions linked at the top of the mint homepage. They're pretty good.

Wow, that last article was really interesting. I'd always heard legends of the unionization attempts in the 90s, cool to have the context of a zine by and for field techs from that time. I'll have to spend some time on my next day off going through the archives (ten ten-hour days in a row, but apparently still not enough to be considered a "professional" archaeologist, let alone get health insurance!)
