I really want to get away from windows faster than a Troy from the Apprentice cliche.
Linux and Unix I suppose. But I also want to use my Mac.
What should I search for on the job search sites?
Unfortunate as it may be... the dot com bubble bursting put a lot of *nix people into the job market. Employers can get experienced Unix developers for half what they could a few years ago, and those people have at least a few years of functional experience. I am speaking personally from my cohorts in the Austin area. I am not sure there is "entry level" - unless you get on somewhere for something else, and then train into Unix/Linux. I would say start with certification, which will at least get you in the door.
When my roommate graduated with a CS degree (before there even was an internet) he got a unix job programming call waiting for a major phone company. Maybe you could look there. If you have a good science and math background a university research group maybe looking for someone. My department wants a 40 blade cluster but one problem is that non of the research programmers likes unix that much. They still use VMS
