Hehe, Tux is a very cute penguin!
Have I told you that I'm a computer science/engineering drop out? I hung about long enough for it to have an influence on my OS choices. Blame learning how to use Unix.

(While the boyfriend has a dual-boot Ubuntu and windows machine, I run Puppy on a very old laptop, while my main computer is a eeepc with Xandros.)

Really? No, you hadn't mentioned that you were formerly in computer science. You might have seen my husband, then. He was in Melbourne late in August in 1999, speaking to a Linux-users' group.

The machine I'm typing this on runs Ubuntu, because Eric is my sysadmin, he uses Ubuntu and prefers all the machines in the house to run the same OS, since he really hates sysadmining. :-)

Ah, I would have been 15, in high school, and living on a sheep farm. So no. :(

And Ashley, who was at uni doing his computer science degree at the time says he hadn't actually realised Linux existed. (Strange man!)

It was a long-shot, but I figured I'd ask. :-)
