<br>to GR (Kentwood) in 2 weeks.<br><br>Subscribed to the mailing list to try to see what kind of LUG scene<br>there is in town. Really hope to make a meeting or two and help at<br>install-fests.<br><br>A little background where I'm coming from, I use Ubuntu for
99.9% of my<br>computer use. Currently have Gutsy on my Dell laptop. Still have the<br>Vista install that came with it, but its gathering cobwebs. Think I<br>want my 60G of disk space back. I find that xp pro in virtualbox is
<br>sufficient for anything I need msft for.<br><br>Previous distros I've favored are Mandrake and Gentoo. Gentoo was my<br>longest stint, probably from 1.4rc's to maybe 2006. Edgy was my first<br>Ubuntu install, primarily as Gentoos userbase polarized arounf DRobbins
<br>treatment, StuHerbert, and such. Just wasn't a comfortable home any<br>more. Had lots of fun with gentoo, installing it on Casio Fiva 205<br>subnotes, Old World mac All-In-Ones, pretty much anything I could get my
<br>hands on.<br><br>I am a Unidata developer working in Lawn and Garden Distribution.<br>Unidata (Pick) is now an IBM product, but has a lineage back to ~1967.<br>It is a great unix based db that meets the needs of thousands of small
<br>to medium size businesses even today.<br><br>Wanted to chime in on the editor discussion from earlier this month, I<br>used to prefer vi everywhere, and at home it is my first choice, but<br>gasp, at work Ive sold out to a win32 editor. I have to use XP on my
<br>desktop and my boss turned me on to UltraEdit, which if you have to use<br>win is a very cool editor. It has tons of options aimed primarily at<br>developers.<br><br>Well, just wanted to say hi.<br><br>Steve<br>_______________________________________________
