As always, I've got ahead of myself. Posting to a mailing list before introducing myself... Sorry ;-)
Anyway, I'm allegedly an IT professional (hehe), mainly dealing in enterprise java developments. I've had an interest in GNU/Linux mainly Debian for a couple of years, and have installed and run it on many different boxes. i386 (SMP), laptops, powerpc, sparc, sparc64.
I've mainly used it as a personal OS, not much server related stuff apart from the usual home network with the usual diald, nfs, samba, apache, php, python etc......
I have a passing interest in the BSD's (sorry) and am getting to know OpenBSD at the moment.
Not sure if I can be of much help to many people, but I'll stick my oar in when I can.
Looking forward to contributing... (hopefully)
Andrew
