have changed. I spent ten years writing for - www.linuxuser.co.uk -
www.linuxformat.co.uk - http://www.linux-magazine.com/ . Travelled
round the world a few times doing that.
I think my first distro was Caldera which I think was in 1996. I was
working as an NT / 95-98 admin at the time. Magazines played two huge
parts in my adoption of Linux.
1) I go to have disks to install distros from
2) In one article on PHP + MySQL they had a shot of Webmin www.webmin.com
In NT land we had buggy mail severs and other crap + a whole lot of
shrink wrapped boxes that cost 1,000 $ of equally crap software. I
installed RedHat 7.? and webmin and clicked on the "Servers" tab - here
was a suite of offerings that I could install for free and get working
rather than thinking of how to install "front page extensions on IIS".
The screen shot in one of those magazines was a big eye opener - thanks!
Cheers
