[Wolves] Re: To all LUGgers.....

[Andrew Lewis]

22. Andrew L. - Fedora3, Mandrake and SuSE
Mainly FC3 at the moment, I've been playing with linux on and off since
Redhat 6, but using it on the majority of my systems for the last 12-18
months. Just starting to pick up C on linux - after a gap of several
years. Find out more at www.splinescan.co.uk <--(blatant plug)
