Thanks Al.

I am based up in Manc, but I am subscribed to (what I think is) every
LUG in the country. I like to stay up-to-date on all things linux and
keep an overview. Our LUG, Man-LUG despite being the first LUG in the
country is very very quiet and I'm a replier of threads as opposed to a
starter!

In the vein of introductions / welcomes etc, a little about me...

I've been using Linux for about 6 years as a hobbyist and around 4 years
as a job. Currently I work for the National Computing Centre (In manc).
For the last year I've been working on a project to facilitate FOSS
takeup in the voluntary sector. This is just drawing to an end this week
and I'm not sure what my future holds presently. My main Linux
experience is building and maintaining servers, however I am also a
massive fan of desktop linux. I use Debian generally for both but in the
past I've been a big gentoo fan too. I have used SuSe and RH but don't
particularly like either. I won't go into reasons unless anyone's
interested!

Anyhow, if im in the area when a meet is on I'll be there!
