Well ask away. 

I have been using Linux on and off for nearly 10 years (I remember installing 
a very early Slackware distro from lots and lots of floppy disks!). Over the 
years I have used Slackware, RedHat, Mandrake and a number of home built 
distros. Recently I have discovered Gentoo Linux (http://www.gentoo.org/) 
which is great but not for the faint hearted, or the 56k modem user :-).


At home I have a laptop and a desktop running Gentoo, a firewall (33 MHz 586) 
running FreeBSD and a desktop running Windows ME (for games and the other 
half). I am using ISDN into ClaraNet at the moment but trying to work out the 
best options for ADSL setup.

My biggest problem is that I just can't resist reinstalling everything to play 
with the next release of some toy. 

Richard
