Personally I don't recomend limting yourself to one particular platform. You already have some knowledge and experience with .net and Microsoft etc. So switching to unix and linux is not a bad idea, just keep up with your other skills as much as possible, you never know where this industry will turn, it's best to get as much experience with as many platforms and languages as possible. That will at least insure your markeability and hopefully keep you employed. I have been working in IT for 25 years and for many companies and multiple platforms, in different industries. There is only one thing that I can gurantee is for certain and that is constant change. Whatever path you take just always remember what's most important is that you find it interesting enough to apply yourself, even if they pay you a ton of money, if you don't like it your going to burn out. Always be ready to learn something new it's never to late and the more you know the easier it get to learn the next thing. You will always be re-educating yourself if you want to continue to work in IT.

uml_switch
UML_SWITCH(1) General Commands Manual UML_SWITCH(1) NAME
uml_switch -- switch daemon for user-mode Linux SYNOPSIS
uml_switch [-unix control_socket data_socket] [-hub] [-tap tun device] [-compat-v0] [-daemon] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the uml_switch program. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. uml_switch is a daemon for managing a virtual network between user-mode Linux systems, with no connection to the host system's network. It will listen for connections on a pair of UNIX domain sockets, and forward packets between clients which connect to them. OPTIONS
-unix control_socket data_socket Listen on the specified pair of sockets, instead of the defaults. -hub Act like a hub. This means that packets received will be broadcast over all virtual links. The default is to act as a switch, where packets are only sent to the link matching the destination MAC address of the packet. -tap tap device Connect the switch to a dynamically created tap device on the host -compat-v0 Specify control protocol version 0 compatibility. -daemon Run in the background as a daemon. SEE ALSO
