Hi Guys Just joined the mailing list, and the email asked to reply giving a heads up why I joined, so here goes! I'm 21, been in the IT sector for 1 year now (only graduated last year :P) so still a young'un. I have sampled suse8 and slackware 10 back in college, and since then I've always had a curiosity to learn about linux. I don't get to use it in my workplace, but at home I've wiped XP off the slate and have now successfully been running 1 desktop, 1 server and 1 laptop on ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu for well over 6months, never going back to the darkside now! I've joined the ALUG mailing list to basically extend my network of friends, and to find other likeminded individuals that enjoy a good "geeking session" in their free time. Would love to attend one of the Ipswich meets and trade some info/advice etc etc. If anyone from the Sudbury/Suffolk area wants to chat about the glories of linux over a good pint, shout me on msn at jimmy@teamstag.co.uk Regards James Elsey Junior Developer Serengeti Systems Limited Serengeti House Kersey Maltings Kersey, Ipswich IP7 6DP Company registered in England & Wales Registration No: 3578108 T: 01473 825 002 D: 01473 825 013 M: 07841 343 879 Skype: james.elsey1 E: James.Elsey@serengeti-systems.com URL: www.serengeti-systems.com <http://www.serengeti-systems.com/>
