Additional Detail **Apache is critical- Tons of installs, patches and support. This is all done on a Unix operating system so they must know Unix extensively. They will also be setting up aliases, scanning log files, changing time outs etc… They will also be responsible for rewrite rules, setting up and administering blogs. Apache is the front side of Tomcat and JBoss so they need to know those as well. Lastly is Java. They will not be doing any development.
