I used Salary.com to do a bunch of research on Unix admin salaries last time I asked for a raise. They had the best info by far compared to other sites I used. I don't remember if they do contract rates (I don't think so) but if not just get a feel for what full time salaries should be and make sure your contract rate is a little above that to make up for lack of benefits.

When I did that research about 18 months ago the median for Minneapolis was about $86,000 per year, with the range between 25th and 75th percentile going from the mid $70's to the high $90's. The charts I got were for Unix admins with several years experience though, so if you're just starting it would be substantially less.
