Hello! I have just joined this mailing list recently, and figured I would give an introduction to myself. My first encounter with Unix took place in 2006 when I started my undergraduate studies in Computer Science. The main servers all ran Solaris, and we accessed them via thin clients. Eventually I wanted a similar feeling operating system for my personal computer, so that I could do my assignments without having to always log into the school servers, and so I came across Linux. I hopped around for a while, but eventually settled with Slackware for my personal computers. Nowadays I run a mixture of Linux and BSD operating systems for various purposes. Unfortunately my day job has me writing desktop software for Windows (no fun there :(), so I'm thankful to have found a group of people with similar computing interests as myself, and I look forward to chatting with you all! Regards, Bryan St. Amour
