Always interested in new ventures... but a technical director... wont code..
Coders code. directors direct.
You may find some directors who came from a coding background... but I doubt they will be current.. more likely you will get a coder who can code very well.. but whom wouldnt be ideal Director Material.. in the strictest sense..
Tho... what do I know
GL, and no disrespect to any coder/directors

Not only that, but I've come across very few people who do "firewalls, Linux" that also do "VB, ASP.Net, Java, Access, Sql Server".
Diametrically opposed technical camps, sorta, and I can count the number of people I've met who do both on the fingers of one foot.

Actually, that describes me. But I'm busy :
Me too. I suspect that Sam will find that the entrepreneur techos that the start-up would really want are already largely in ... start-ups!
Might need to give someone the chance to prove they have what it takes...
I take it they are offering no salary, a decent stake in the business and a life of risk, excitement and poverty for a couple of years? I do hope so...
You are all right as always. The VB, .Net stuff does not really go with the Linux but the Linux know how does not have to be in depth.
The role is for a developer who will also be the IT director. They will code in the first instance as the company grows they will become slightly less hands on.
Within a start up everyone generally does everything they can. There is no room for an IT director who simply directs just yet, but give it time

This is exactly how I started out with my business 3 years ago, and I think in a startup the 'technical director' ends up sorting out everything technical .. from programming SQL, HTML, firewalls, servers and scripts to fixing PC's, telephones and changing lightbulbs
When the company gets bigger and can afford more staff, and it took us over a year, then you can get picky about when you 'code' and when someone does it for you! (I still change lightbulbs though)
If circumstances were different for me I'd love to get involved .. but no time sadly. However I'm sure the person you want is out there, somewhere ..
