[NTLUG:Discuss] an apology for just jumping in.............

[clyde swann]

sorry guys for just jumping out there and posting a question without  
introducing myself.  i've been around different mailing lists for so long, 
and feel so at home that often times it does not occur to me i'm a stranger 
and need to say hello first.  :)

i switched from os/2 warp about a year ago because i was looking for an os 
that was more open ended, more robust and internet focused without the high 
cost associated with most oses and needed hardware/software.

i had been told about linux several years earlier but was not ready to 
unscrew my head rescrew it on again.  but then about 14 months ago, after 
reading all the hype about redhat in particualar, and being ready to look at 
some internet specific activities, i purchased rh v5.2 and installed it.  i 
didn't just install it.  i shut down my bbs, terminated my fidonet and some 
other network connections.  without knowing anything about unix/linux i 
totally flattened my system and installed linux.  i had my internet 
connection up and running in a short time and the rest is history.

where i am now with all this, who knows.  i just know i've been plenty dizzy 
* & % $ * with all this information the last year or has it been the last 
twenty-five years.  i would not have changed it for the world though.
