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.
