Excuse my patronising post.
I'm so used to the whinging, "MS is a nicer DT" and why isn't my
organzmatron soundcard not supported?

My contrib's are mainly to the GPL community and not strictly to
"Linux" but GPL software in general.
Most of the issues that arise are not with Linux, but with the
associated software (generally GPL).
To be honest. Most LUGs should be renamed to OSUG's Open Source User
Groups... This should encompass all Unix/BSD/Linux users and reflect
the actual content of the group (eg. mail,ftp,http,ldap, or whatever ,
problems)
I use everything (is that too vague, or incriminating?).
