[ale] Greetings Linux Enthusiasts (new to the area)

[Greg Freemyer]

Derek,

It's good to have a long time linux guru added to the group.  I've
only been doing linux since '96 so I can't claim as long as you.  But
many of us have UNIX experience too.

It sounds like you should get to know Mike (Michael) Warfield if you
don't already know him.

He was a founder of this group and presents every year or so.  He's a
security / encryption expert similar to yourself.
