<div>I remember turning up in Dover, having been out
the night before (if I drank like that now, I'd be
unable to function, never mind going to a LUG). I
learned a lot from the group and it helped me
professionally, not just because someone told me
their company was looking for someone with my skill
set, where I ended up meeting my wife.</div>

<div>I moved to Ubuntu very quickly, after realising
that it was just quicker to get up and running than
doing more by hand in Debian.</div>

</div>
<div>I'm still using Linux for professional work (less
now than a few years ago when I was getting my hands
dirty often), managed VMs and layers of service take
much of the work out of it. Personally, I have a
hosted Linux VM for a collection of personal
projects. With most services being cloud based, OS
on the personal computer has become less and less
relevant. </div>

<p>Yeah. Well, Linux is so much easier now
than back when we had install days :-)</p>
<p>Still using Linux pretty much everywhere at
home and work, and on so many devices too.
Though at the moment I'm focusing on retro
systems and building Z80 machines.</p>
<p>Agree with Steam Windows. I can't believe
I'm able to play AAA Windows games on Linux.
They have done an amazing job. :-)</p>

all,<br>
<br>
Been somewhat distracted with numerous
projects over the last few years.<br>
<br>
While trawling one discarded project to
bring back to life I notice KLUG <br>
hits 20 years old on this mailing list
system in November. Of course it <br>
is older than that as I previously ran
the mailing list one another <br>

<br>
Wow, where has that time gone and how
different Linux has become.<br>
<br>
Anyway, back to the slumber ;-)<br>
