Hello world :-)
- I have been a linux user since about 1997. I ran Redhat, until they stopped distributing a free version. I worked in the corporate world as an I.T. developer for 20 years. Lately I have not been making a living out of being a propellerhead, but am more of an end-user of software packages. I spend most of my computer-time -
- browsing the web with Firefox,
- emailing,
writing words and occasional invoices
with openoffice, - accounting and writing other occasional invoices with sql-ledger.
- However I am fairly much weaned off computers for days and sometimes weeks at a time. I try not to subject my eyes to staring at a computer screen more than four or five hours a week if possible. Then again, I have just updated this page after a week and maybe 70 hours installing Breezy on three machines, and getting networking working.
I first installed Ubuntu (Warty) in 2005. I run the latest standard production version. My current main PC is a 2003 vintage Toshiba 1800 laptop. Almost everything runs fine on it (except it will not reboot), and it does what I need. Sometime soon though, I would like to install a wireless network card. If you have one installed into a similar laptop and the adapter is available in Australia and easily installed, please [mailto:DavidTangye@netscape.net email me] and let me know.
