Don't worry fellow list members, I've not gone missing.... I recently managed (finally) to get some time to start using towards updating / revising my FAQ site (some of it posts to the Redhat lists, some of it on the Mandrake lists).
For quite a while now (until recently), I've been without a Mandrake box to actually use to assist in answering questions, since the linux box I was handling administration for has departed. Anyways, since my parents purchased a new dell PC, I now (finally) have my own linux workstation / server, where I can actually take a look / investigate problems again. My latest project is to try to get a linux server installed at work to handle centralized user authentication, and possibly to replace the existing firewall. I've probably convinced my supervisors 99%+ to do it - just a matter now of locating hardware to run it on. The primary reason that I've not been regularly posting to the list is because I've been very busy since I am now working 3 jobs. One is full-time as an IT Manager (ending my 11 month job search), another is part-time somewhere else for benefits (small companies tend not to have heavy benefits packages), and of course, various consulting gigs that I'm trying to finish from before I got hired on. Of course, this doesn't include my "after-hours" work on stuff like General Education Online (http://www.findaschool.org), the Pensacola Linux Users Group, Academic Web Information Repository (http://www.webspinners.org), Simple End User Linux (http://www.seul.org), and various other projects. Anyways, in the coming days, you'll start seeing posts from me again as I can manage.
