Aloha Everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself as a new subscriber. I live in Kailua. I have been using Linux for about a year now (an OS/2 Warp convert). I am still in the "learning curve" so to speak. I think I have finally settled into the flavor of Linux that feels the most comfortable with me, Suse 8.0. I tried Corel, Redhat 5.1, Mandrake 8.0. So far Suse has been the easiest for me so I'm going to stick with it.
My reasons for changing to Linux from OS/2 are many. I used OS/2 exclusively for my wife's business for about 8 years. Some of her software vendors have decided that they will no longer develop in OS/2 or DOS base but will be looking into Linux development for thier applications. Hopefully they will not wait and get right on it. In the meantime, our business is being run on the "other" sorry excuse for an OS. That will cost dearly the longer it drags out, I'm sure. I am really impressd with Linux's stability. It does match or even surpass that of OS/2. I hope that I don't ask too many stupid questions and hopefully will be able to contribute what I already know. Which isn't all that much, but some. Looking forward to learning from you guys & gals and contributing when I can. Derrick
