Rate my assistance! > http://rate.affero.net/nman64/ > -- I am Jeanette Russo, I am a Fedora Core 5 user and I have been using Linux since RedHat 5.0 back in 97 or so I believe. Anyway Linux is mostly a hobby and my preferred OS. I work as a Novell and Windows Lan Admin but I prefer Linux on my own systems. I have been watching the distribution and the Linux community grow over the last 9 years and it has come a long way. Anyway what I would like to see is a growth in the use of Linux among women. I would like to see us stratagize how to make this possible. Thanks Jeanette A. Russo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
