er.. *saunters to front of room at stares at feet while reading from a
scruffy piece of paper*

lost my linux virginity to a sweet little Redhat 4.2 but that was a bit of
a one night stand due to lack of time.. later returned to the one true OS
with RH5.0 which got me hooked. Guess that makes me a newbie.

Currently running rh6.1 but only because while upgrading my h/ware I ended
up nuking my rather nice SuSE install. Actually 6.1 is playing nice
although the support for my banshee is mostly lip-service. SuSE is rather
nice I like YaST but miss Apache (suse puts thttpd where you'd expect
apache - probably got confused when I said to install both), and
enlightenment/windowmaker with gnome is my fave setup which SuSE doesn't
make easy.

rh5.2 is a classic (and well named - 'manhatten' just says style and
elegance as opposed to cartman) distie - I'd happily use it as a base
install before patching the kernel (why I didn't start playing with
kernels earlier god knows) and adding MySQL, thttpd and some dev
tools/libs.

Just to mention something more practical - I have started on a linux
development section on the lug website - mail me or anybody else (I'm more
likely to do it tho' as I'm most interested) if you want to add anything.

regards,
Aaron
