Introduction
As the forum seems to be the center of the community, I guess I'll introduce myself here:
I'm Jack L. Frost, a system administrator from Moscow, Russia.
Took an interest in Linux in 2006; didn't even know that there are other useable systems aside from Mac OS X and Windows at the time.
Burned my way through a lot of distros since then, including Slackware (SLAX, a minimal LiveCD based on Slackware was the first distro I've ever used), Fedora Core, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Alt, Debian, Zenwalk and some others.
Currently I mainly use heavily modified Arch installs (desktops) and mainline Debian (servers).
Found the forums through pidsley (he mentioned the IRC channel describing it as “a bunch of distro-agnostic freaks” and that got my attention).
My blog and GitHub.

Re: Introduction
I won't be active on the forum, I don't think.
I'm very talkative and prefer realtime conversations to forums and such.
I'm also not a nice guy. Just FYI.

Re: Introduction
Hello fbt, thank you for your intro and welcome to the grill.
We are all not so super-nice, at least most of us can be real assholes :)
Anyway, thanks for leaving a message, you have already done more than most of the lurkers who register and then never write.
Edit: just seen your blog and github -- watchman looks nice!

Re: Introduction
Welcome fbt -- for those who don't know from IRC, fbt is the creator of "watchman" and "spark."
And as bacon says, being an asshole here is not a problem...

Re: Introduction
Oh yes, (AKA openfbtd) I see you've been semi-lurking on the IRC, you sounded sysadminy - joining in my moan, about whatever email problem i was ranting about at the time.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Re: Introduction
Very talkative and not a nice guy makes the perfect griller. Good to you have you around. :)
It's funny how we used to be able to do real stuff with rudimentary computers, but now we can't. -- ratcheer

Re: Introduction
welcome to the BBQ Mr Frost, it is always nice to have something cold when you are near a meat-scorching flame. whether you talk is up to you, whether you are an asshole is up to us, but like Mr Machineba Con said, making an intro-thread is more than some have done.
All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.
