You did get extra cash for this work, right? Or was it part of the job?

I'm a low level IT Support Specialist (it's my first IT job), I honestly just recommended all these and my boss wants to go through with it, plus it's something I love to do. In the coming weeks we will start to implement Coreboot w/ LinuxBoot and Proxmox onto most of our machines. I've messed with Coreboot a lot, not a dev, just good enough to build/customize and install it for them. I honestly want to see the world change, I mean hell yeah money is great too, but at the end of the day, all I want is for other companies/people to see that this way of doing computing is much better. Sure, you may have to get through the hurdles of learning it, but if you have someone to guide you it makes it so much easier. Now imagine if everyone used it, everyone could lend a helping hand.

OK, you're young, I get it.

No way am I doing that for free.

I work in IT too BTW... just not as young as you.

I mean I already get paid for the work I do, I make $55K/year currently. Should I be asking for more?

For this? Absolutely! I would...
