Background

I am based in Mount Isa Queensland in Australia's outback.
I have been using Linux since Red Hat 7, spent a brief time using Mandrake, switched back to Red Hat with their Fedora project, and moved over to Debian when my interest switched to servers. With my interest in Debian (particularly their package manager) solidified I dove into Ubuntu in the 6.x release cycle for my client computers...I've never looked back on Ubuntu and now use Ubuntu for all my personal servers too.
