1 - does anyone have difficulty find jobs that require a person work with linux OS? In Portugal, about 90% of the companies uses Microsoft programs. And it's becoming a nightmare for people who want to develop his skills with Linux OS. Is just me, or this happens often in other countries?

Probably yes, it used to be so here too, in the past. Nowadays people are starting to think (besides the fact that they're losing their minds with all the licences, viruses, anti-virus app licences per desktop etc.) and use of Linux (among other OSes) is growin in every sector, including schools and public offices. In here, the need for Linux know-how and people who can deal with it, create solutions etc., is growing every day. Among other OSes (like OS X).

2 - Do you have any suggestions about sites and companies to find jobs that require a people work with Linux?
|
I'm pretty positive you can find such things from the net, but use reliable sites, if you can. Especially (here, again) server administrators and such people are needed and nowadays Linux servers are becoming "fashionable" on places where there used to be some Windows Server (or somekind of Unix, even), so I could imagine there are a lot of companies that need "Linux people".

3 - Does anyone went to work in another country? Is very difficult to find a job in another country? Does it pay the sacrifice work in another country? Should i pay atention to any common problem related to work in another country (safety, law, worker rights, etc)?

I have not worked in another country myself, but that isn't impossible in the future. Finding a job is not necessarily difficult, but bear in mind that you need to know how to speak, write and listen to quite fluently the language(s) spoken at the target place. It's not easy as eating a pie, to work abroad, but if you've got problems getting a job back home, it's an alternative, and not a bad one. Surely you will want to know a lot of stuff about the country you're wishing to work in, about the "common problems" you said, and yes: you must know the laws well enough not to get in jail every other day
"worker rights", if we're talking about the same thing, are surely a thing you want to find out more about. I've heard they don't have too good rights in china, and that here people would have good rights as workers, but it's more than just what it says in the paper. I don't think there is any place where your rights wouldn't be violated somehow some day, but you can watch out for the really bad places by finding out.
Remember, there are also some jobs you can do on line from your home, so you don't actually have to physically be at your work place.
