An Introduction board or thread....
Just to let people know what sort of Linux/computer experience we are bringing to this Forum.
I will start it off here..
I have around 10 years off and on with Linux. The first version of Linux I used with any anger was Suse 6.1 in 1998. I have given up on Linux a few times, but I am currently managing to keep myself 90% M$ Windows free (at home that is, my work laptop unfortunately runs Windows).
My main job is looking after (Systems Administration) IBM RS/6000s running payroll for a major UK organisation. We have the occasional Linux box.
At home, I currently run Fedora 9 on my Desktop and Mythdora 5 on my PVR (Personal Video Recorder) I have tried Suse, Corel (yes I was suckered in), Mandrake and I currently having a play with Ubuntu. I generally try to keep my home system up to date, by building my own software and occasionally contribute to bug reports on certain projects.
I originally look at this as a challenge to get my Missus and daughter to use Linux, instead of Microsoft products and to have a usable machine for them and me. It seems that there is a lot of work need to be done to achieve this.
