[Sussex] Hi, and a quick question

[Pete Wright]

Great, thanks for that. 

Hmmm a bit about me. I'll try to keep it semi-brief. For my computing
history, I started as a games programmer in the 80's writing games for
the Commodore 64 and Amiga (none published unfortunately - publisher
went under), and then moved into 'corporate' programming. I used to be a
contractor, but moved back into permanent work after my last contract
(Enron) went pear shaped. I'm now a Microsoft consultant with a company
in London, but looking to go back to self employment very soon. 

Geek stuff - I'm the author of about 300 technical articles, and 11
books, including Beginning GTK+/Gnome from the late Wrox Press. Aside
from that, I write for a few magazines online and in print (PC Pilot,
Salon.com, CNET.com) , and I'm starting work now on a couple of HOWTOs
with the Linux Documentation project covering Thinkpads and Digital
photography. 

Distro - Debian - are there others ? ;) Been using Linux since about
1995ish (started with Slackware), and have gone through most of the
common distros, including Redhat, Suse, Gentoo, Slackware, and Knoppix.
Debian just feels so right though. 

So, that's that.
