Oh, and I was planning on moving to Scotland this or maybe next year ( I'm from one of new EU countries, supposedly Scotland welcomes us), I'd probably aim for Eddinburgh, as they say they've got jobs for UNIX admins there...

All in all this whole thread seems to suggest that moving anywhere in general is not a very smart move, you've got contacts and reputation where you already are, and supposedly the best way of gaining successfull employment is networking, how are you going to network in totaly strange city/country?

People loosing their telecommuting jobs and having problems finding any other employment confirms that sad true.
