Hi,
I thought I'd join up here as well as the infrastructure list - I do have transferable skills to help, namely php / mysql, for web development with work we use ASP.NET. For those not on the FIL I've included the main parts of the original introduction I sent to the infrastructure list which gives you a fair bit of info about me below; apologies if you've seen this before.
Cheers.

================== Original intro' sent to FIL ==================
I'm married with 3 kids (aged 4, 2, 1 :D)... full time job but I do get time to
spare surprisingly!!!! I love my family to pieces they mean the world to me.
I've been working in IT for 10yrs now all in a Microsoft DOS / Windows based
environment, starting with development in FoxBASE and FoxPro and moving through
the versions to visual fox. I've not attended university but have never had a
problem with reading / googlin' bits to learn new things; I do get quite a kick
from picking up "new to me" technologies and helping to solve problems.
Currently I work full time as a Visual Studio developer with Technology
Management Ltd. in the UK developing .NET applications for the WinCE / Windows
Mobile based mobile device market. Those applications are mainly written in C#
but we do have a significant VB.net code base.
Following the latest Microsoft based OS crash at home a rebuild has become
necessary which I started this weekend - yesterday in fact, so I made the choice
to make Linux my main OS; to be fair it should've been from when I dabbled with
Fedora 7 and 8 thereafter... still... my foot has gone down, and my wife is
scheduled a tour of Fedora at the weekend ;)
I have recently bootstrapped myself to other languages C / C++ and php for web
work I'm finding this interesting to say the least. I do have some experience
with Apache and MySQL (obviously the strong knowledge I have in Internet
Information Services and SQL Server have been somewhat transferable). It looks
like I need to add python to the list of things to learn and this is something
I've been mulling over so may just make that leap.
From all of that I'm hoping you can tell that whilst I have very little
experience with 'nix environments I am keen to learn just need some guidance on
where to go to pick that up.
Away from PC's (if there ever is such time) I play guitar - well I play guitar,
banjo, and mandolin to be honest. The last two I'm not so hot at but I can
"hold my own" - to coin a phrase - on the guitar. I also love to read; and have
- of all things - recently started dabbling in magic and performance thereof
but... now I'm rambling :D
I look forward to helping in whatever way I can. I'm looking for a good place
to start, I'm obviously following the wiki, reading up when I can, and of course
getting my own Fedora environment setup (although I do have one running in
VirtualBox at work to satiate the 'nix desires whilst I'm at work :D).
