[LUG] [SWLUG] Newbie Introduction



Greetings.

I'm a long way from Devon, and even further from Cornwall, living as I
do on the Wiltshire edge of Somerset, but as far as I can tell DCLUG and
SWLUG are the nearest LUGs to me that have mailing-lists.

I'm 38; my educational background is in Music and Ancient Literature,
and I'm years behind the times in computing. My first PC was an Elonex
286 with a gigantic 40Mb disk and a speedy 12MHz processor - which
unfortunately I didn't acquire until 1997, when it was just a wee bit
out of date. I'm still behind the times: I'm currently using a P100 with
64Mb RAM and 5Gb of disk space shared between three drives. But since
all I use it for is writing annoying text files and posting annoying
messages to Usenet, it's good enough.

After switching from Win98 via Mandrake 9.0 late last year I'm now using
Debian 3.0 and gradually falling in love with it. I also have Linux From
Scratch installed on the slowest of my three disks, and I'm hoping to
switch to it as my principal OS when I've learned a lot more
than I currently know.

As if that weren't enough to impress you, I'm tall, dark and handsome,
and have written three untruths just after the first comma in this
sentence.

Greetings again.
