I have just subscribed to the list. My name is Allan Miller. I have been using Linux extensively for the past 4 years now. After trying various distributions I have settled on Slackware. Occasionally I try a new distribution but end up fairly quickly back with Slackware. I like its speed and simplicity of setting up (I used to dislike the others with everything hidden behind gui's).
The only thing on which I can speak authoritatively and with considerable experience is old age however I have been fiddling with Linux for some years now. I like GUIs because it means that I don't have to remember command lines and parameters. My memory was never very good and it doesn't improve with age.
It has been a bit of a solitary life as I don't know anyone else who is using Linux.
Welcome to the group Allan. You now know a lot of people who use Linux.
