I was approached by somebody to help out with a Linux project.
The thing is, I don't know how much to charge (by the hour). I have not yet finished my bachelor's in CompSci,

What is that linux project?? We need the skill to put the price :-) BUT...


General single server (web, mail, backup, F.W.) set up, update,configuration, etc., 50$ / Hour of work, not googling the job. So... as it is not your day job, or was at one point, or you have 'been there done that already', I would say you should charge lees.


Your B.S. has nothing to do with it, but this price is for a competent sysadmin i.e.:


- If he googles to learn how to do the job, it better be on his own time
- Has liability / accountability with "real world" experience

- Mostly has a supervisor and/or professional peers, to check up the job as q if needed


Maybe you better say upfront that this is a side job, charge say $ ~40$/Hr.


* high level: multi-server, security set-ups, etc., charge more, But I would not take a guy like you for the job -not just yet, maybe in a few  years, no affiance :-)
