[PLUG] Coming back

[Michael P. Hopcroft]

I took a lot of flak lst time I was on this list, but I decided to come 
back for two reasons.

1. I'm going to be studying Lonux and bulding Linux "Freekboxes" for 
Free Geek, and

2. I miss the prople who were nice to me.

I am not currently using Linux on my own system -- my Red Hat crashed 
disastrously on my and only with a Windows installation could I save my 
data. That odesn;t mean I wouldn;t go back to Linux if an opportunity 
presented itself to do so. basically, though, my main interest, at least 
for a while, is going to be learning Linux, learning to build Linux 
boxes, and evertually building Linux boxes for other people. So first I 
need to learn my sutff, and then I need to put it into practice.

One of the things I am trying to figure out is whether there is a makret 
for an indpendent PC contrustion contractor in thie day and age, and 
whetehr I have what it takes to fill that need once I complte my 60 
hours or so of Free Geek training, practice and experience. Entering the 
Builkd program is very exciting, but I'm woindering if  it's only my 
first step.

So here I am. Again. You may call me whatever you like now.
