Hey folks,

I've been using Linux off and on since 1994, when I loaded whatever 
Slackware one could get from Walnut Creek CDROM.  Since the late 90s 
it's been all Linux, mostly Mandrake/Mandriva, until about 2003/2004, 
when I switched to Mac (before it was cool), a 12" PowerBook.  I played 
with Yellow Dog on an old Apple Cube (which currently runs Ubuntu).  
Last year I switched back, using Ubuntu for the first time.  After apt, 
I'll never look back (I guess I'd be ok on Debian also).  I can't wait 
for 8.10, but I'll probably wait until the release.

I regularly ride a Trek 1000, which is a fairly inexpensive but friendly 
bike ... I try do do 45 - 60 miles per week, riding at lunch from work, 
then maybe another 30 or 40 on the weekend.  I'm rarely successful, but 
sometimes.  I commute to work on a single speed Moth.


Cheers,
Robert
