Apologies for the cut/paste, but the software doesn't have a public results page.

Speaking of survey sheets, do we have the results for that? Also, what
did I miss at the RLUG meeting? Sounds like there was quite the
discussion on Bash.

1 I am using Mandrake 10.0 at the moment, I have about 2 years of experience with mostly Mandrake. I have learned the basics of getting apache up and running, and configured. My server is online right now, at http://jeffshippen.homelinux.com. I joined RLUG about 2 weeks ago. I would consider myself a GNU/Linux newbie, and plan on attending meetings as often as I can. I am a commandline and GUI user, I consider both to be very powerful/useful. I wish to learn as much as I can from RLUG, but only learning would be selfish, so I hope to contribute too. Thanks Jeff Shippen
1 I still don't "get" Linux. If it's any consolation, I don't "get" OSX yet either, and I've owned nearly every Mac ever made, including a Lisa. I'm missing something fundamental - don't know what, I just don't grok it. Packages, builds, root - there's a blank spot where convergence should be. But every post to RLUG helps - and someday...
1 Started as an applied math computer science major working with big iron - way back when....primary data input was via punched paper cards - started into the pc side of things about 1986, currently manage/administer small 6 node network in my office. One unit is a linux/M$ machine with VMWare. Primary home machine is a dual boot with a wireless network for 2 laptops and another desktop. I wish there were more mainstream apps for Linux -accounting (Quickbooks) is one example. Would like to see a short term class on the GIMP.
