Hi,
I'm Nils - "the new guy".
I have been using gentoo since 2005.0 (or something...) and linux (as
THE single os installed) since '98. Im above 30, a bit on the heavy side
but I can see my toes when I look down (and bend my head only
slightly...) I kind of stumbled across the mailing-lists recently...

Yours,
Nils

Welcome to the list. I have mostly the same story here, though there
was a period of years after DOS where I used OS/2 (with dualboot to
Slackware), eventually changing to purely Gentoo Linux in 2004-2005 or
so.

In my day job I have worked in a 100% Microsoft environment for 10+
years, with a mix of Novell Netware and Microsoft before that. I
haven't gone insane yet, but I think I'm showing subtle signs with
each passing day...

Am I missing something that indicates the OP is serious?

If you mean the OP is probably *not* serious, I agree ...

Hmm. I only wanted to say "Hi" before my first "real" post.
I find it nice when someone introduces him/her on a list, forum,
whatever - for me that includes a word or two about oneself.
The describing-myself part was not-so-serious. All true, though.

So, if I offended someone by choosing a non-tech subject for my first
post I hereby apologize.

Yours,
Nils
