[Sussex] Revamping the SLUG Website

[Mike Diack]

1) I'm a Win32 developer in C++ by day. Linux developer, hobbyist etc by 
night. I've developed for OS/2 (don't snigger), DOS, Unix (yes, including 
SCO!) in C previously jobwise, I've been a software engineer for 14 years 
now. I'm a minor Linux evangelist - I try not to be too pushy to avoid get 
peoples backs up/being seen as a smart arse, but I'm increasingly finding 
that Microsoft's work/problems is doing more evangelistic work for Linux 
than I can! I'm trying to get my folks to move to Linux at the mo. My pet 
hate is COM and having worked with .Net a bit - I'm not convinced about it, 
both portability wise or in any other way - it hasn't made my life any 
easier at all. That said I do applaud Microsoft's efforts with the WTL 
library at Sourceforge - a really excellent tool if you need to do ATL GUI 
work...

2) I use Mandrake (currently on 10.0). In the past I began with Slackware in 
1994, and tried RedHat briefly around the 5.0 period. I've been using 
Mandrake since Mandrake 6.1 (whenever that was!) and love it - apart from 
it's annoying use of devfs and supermount - always the first damn things I 
disable on it after an install!  I'm in the process of planning - to move to 
Broadband.
