About Me
My name is J. Mark Cox. I started using GNU/Linux around late '98. I believe my first distro was Redhat 6.0. I experienced the infamous "rpm hell" one too many times and installed Debian, arh what version, ah around Redhat 7.1. Maybe not the best time reference. At that time I was limited to a dialup connection so I only downloaded the boot floppy images (yes those old 1.4 meg things) and after booting through three floppies installed the rest over that dialup connection. It only took a week!
I have and still do run many distros; both physical and virtual machines. When I heard about Ubuntu I was running Debian unstable on my desktop. I tried Ubuntu with the 5.04 release and haven't looked back.
