Please ignore the off gassing of the ALE really old farts. And don't stand downwind of them.<br><br>EVER!<br><br>As I approach 50 and look back on thirty, I realize now that real adult life begins about that time. My wife will be happy when I finally grow up. I'm figuring 80 is a good age to grow up. :-)<br>
<br>Pick a distro and post some issues so everyone can rag you about how you picked the wrong distro ! You need something with the slow updates like Debian, the user-friendly but brokenness of Ubuntu and Fedora, the slow, stability and ancient desktop like RedHat, the package management of Slackware and the build times of Gentoo, all wrapped up in a Windows only installer! BWAHAHAHAHA!<br>
<br>And Scott, Jeff, Jerald and Pete used to do binary math scratching in the dirt with dull stick because _pointed_ sticks hadn't been invented yet!<br><br>Actually, I think they were just telling dirty jokes and since it was pre-writing times the stick was there just for show.<br>

Hey everyone.<br>
<br>
I know that I am new to ALE and new to Linux, but I am not new to the<br>
world. Well not new by my standards.<br>
<br>
On Friday August 20, 2010 I become 30 years old. My girlfriend, who is<br>
a bit younger, considers me an old fart, so I would continue the joke here.<br>
<br>
Hope you all are having a good one and I will try to as well.<br>
<br>
TTFN<br>
<br>
Joshua.<br>
<br>
<br>
P.S. Old fart my ass, my life is just getting started.<br>
<br>
