Getting more OT...

Yup.  Actually, this was my first foray into linux.  Back in September
of 2004, I decided as a software engineer, I really should know about
this linux 'stuff' and chose myth as the driving force to teach
myself.

Now, I am no linux expert, but I am certainly a lot better off for
playing.  I try and use linux where ever possible and will soon move
my laptop to a dualboot box so I can use Ubuntu as the main OS on
there too.
