Hi there everyone, I joined the mailing list today and thought I would introduce myself. I'm a software developer, writing mainly smartphone apps but occasionally I kludge together small bespoke tools when my boss decides he wants the workflow to be made easier/faster!
I've been interested in GNU/Linux since around 2000 and installed my first distro (Mandrake Linux) around 2002-03. Today I use Puppy on a USB stick, because I have to use a Macbook Pro for work. Aside from things learned along the way as part of my job, I know quite a bit about GNU tools and software, but I'm still learning the guts of Linux, so to speak. I'm a complete geek, so as long as I'm fueled by PG Tips: ask me anything!
I look forward to chatting to all of you :)

Welcome Adam! We look forward to it too. Lots to learn in Linux, and all of it rewarding. Even we oldsters (I've been using Linux since 1992) are still learning some of the the basics, so we all have a lot to learn from each other.
Best wishes, Ted. PS Where are you based? The "A" in ALUG is a big area, and we have people from Peterborough to Burwell to Ipswich to King's Lynn to The Middle of Nowhere (no, that's not Norwich, but does include mysterious areas of North Norfolk).
Hi Ted, I'm from Norwich, so I'm roit locul me! Where are you based?
Thanks for the warm welcome :)
Adam
