Hi HamLUG people. From your web page it looks like an interesting group. A little about myself:
Here at work we are stuck on Windows NT. I had a Redhat partition once, but when our IT people got a look at it I almost lost my job, so my days of "playing" here at work are over. At home I have three machines all networked together using a Linksys Cable router. On my primary machine I run Windows XP primarily, with two other partitions. On those I have Redhat 8.0 and a copy of BeOS. My wife's machine runs Windows XP exclusively, and the machine in the basement runs whatever I feel like for the week ;-) While most of my experience is with MS products, for the last two to three years I have always had a linux build of one company or another on my computer. I am no Linux newbie, but I wouldn't call myself an expert either. More of a middle-of-the-road user. I have successfully set up Samba shares from Linux to XP and vise versa and set up a DHCP server and firewall using ipchains so I have SOME experience with networking also. Personally, I consider myself more of a GUI person than anything else, and I have managed to do some wonderfully complicated things using the X interface. OK, enough boring stuff about me ;-) Are you guys going to have a table at the TCF this year? I see a lot of talk in the archives about it, but no real clear answer. I hope to see you there if you do. We've got our first baby on the way, so making the monthly meetings might be a chore for me for a while, but I am going to try and make it in May. I will bring my basement machine with a fresh copy of something Linux on it if it will help. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you all. Incidentally, I live off Nottingham Way just east of Five Points. Take care all. Eric
