Hello TCLUG-- I just joined the TCLUG and this list a few minutes ago. I've lived in Minneapolis for three years, so I don't know what took me so long to join TCLUG! I moved here from Missouri and have been a member of a University of Missouri Linux Users Group for about 6 years and I still keep in touch via their e-mail lists. I've been using UNIX for almost 15 years (starting when I was a grad student at UW-Madison) and I have administered my own Solaris box for about 10 years (starting as a postdoc at Wash U in St. Louis). I am now trying to move everything to Linux and get off of Solaris altogether. I spend a lot of time crunching numbers on the MSI supercomputers (Linux, Solaris, AIX, Irix). That said, I am a scientist and not a computer expert, so my knowledge of computing is not very deep but I have picked up a lot of things over the years. Today I am an Assistant Professor in Epidemiology and Community Health at the U and I live in downtown Minneapolis (but I'll be moving soon to a house somewhere in the region). Sorry if that's too much information! Anyway, that's my story. I have some questions for you, but I'll put them in separate messages so that the threads don't get jumbled. I look forward to our discussions about Linux!
