[Wolves] new Linux user

[Kevanf1]

Hi Nick and welcome to the wonderful world of Linux freedom :)  I'm the one
you'll never see at a gathering of the like minded ones.  I don't do
meetings very well I'm afraid.  Never mind, I've been using Linux for
something like 15 or 16 years in an on/off basis.  I'm currently using Mint
on an Acer Aspire Happy One netbook.  I'm much more of a Linux user than a
Linux delver or developer :)

Intrigued by your reference to working for a trade union.  I've been a
steward myself in the past at two different work places and my dad before
me so trade unionism is in my blood.

Anyway, happy new year to you and to all my fellow LUG members.
