Hey all, first post

Unread post by bud_99 » Fri Feb 20, 2015 11:25 pm

Ok, guess lurk time is over. Don't want to be accused of being a bot, or an introvert or something... I'm a Crunchbang refugee (4 yrs) looking for a new home. BBQ looks like it could be the place. I used Xubuntu a while ago, and before that, OS/2 (or ecomstation; look it up). I've got an older Acer netbook that I'm using for testing; just trying to decide what kind of meat to grill (choice is a good thing, right?). My desktop will probably get some flavor of bbq later also, when I can find some more time. #! is still working fine, so I'm not in a huge hurry, but I'm sorta itching to move to a rolling release.
I'll probably drop a post or two if(when) I run into problems. Otherwise, I'm good for another 6 months, right?

Hey Bud, welcome to the bbq! Look forward to seeing what meat you might roast up in the future, but take your time. Choice is a good thing :) Feel free to drop in the #linuxbbq from time to time... it can be deadish but many times there is someone to chat with, too :D See you around!

Welcome to the grill bud_99, and thank you for your intro. Appreciate it :) Since you have been lurking around for a while (I am OK with that) you probably know how things work around here and you got a good feel of the grill. So enjoy your meat and take your time. :)
