A pleasant meeting in the Fountain [...]
Sounds great. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there today.
I'd like to get meetings in King's Lynn going again, maybe fitting in between Ely ones. Can anyone in West Norfolk please email me off-list and we'll fix a time and place? I'll put an appeal out on announce too RSN.
With the mention of a potential Kings Lynn meeting, its time for me to de-lurk and introduce myself.
I live in Swaffham and have done since June last year. I am a freelance IT architect and primarily run Linux (mixture of SUSE and Debian) on my machines with the exception of my laptop (Suse/XP dual boot) and an XP development machine.
I have been a Linux user on and off since 93 and a Unix/Minix user since 86 but most of my professional experience has been with MS Windows
Why do I use Linux? I have always preferred the flexibility and stability of *nix compared to the MS platform and the accessibility and availability comapred to the Mac. I like free beer and applaud free speech too.
I am currently working with/for IBM and read the recent Prodigy advert thread with interest, and for those of you that are interested in IBMs involvement with Linux, there is a newsletter that you can subscribe to at http://www.ibm.com/linux/linuxline.
Cheers. Chris.
