Intro

[MBSmith at dstsystems.com]

I signed up to the list a few days ago, and now that I've started 
contributing I thought I'd better introduce myself.  I've been playing 
with Linux for a while now, with my experience being (in order);

Slackware - too long ago to remember, but I was a newbie and got it 
running fine
Caldera - went for the out-of-box experience, worked well, dropped it 
after disliking the company (can't remember why)
Debian - I like the true 'free' approach, but didn't spend the time to get 
it running as I liked
Red Hat - works great, but feels too corporate for some reason
Mandrake - great install, too many tools and options for maintaining (too 
friendly?)
SuSE - I'm using it now, seems slick, and fast

Debian stilll interests me (I need to get over wanting the latest and 
greatest), and am curious about Gentoo - anyone tried their dists?

My employer is DST Technologies, working in a Solaris environment, with 
lots of play toys (I'm trying to slip some Linux in here when no one is 
watching).  I'll try and make the meeting tonight, hope to see you there.

Cheers
Mark Smith
