Hi Pete, I am self taught when it comes to computers. I did an A-level in Computing at 18, and am currently doing a degree with the Open University in "Information Technology & Computing". I am currently working for a big department store (here in England). I work in the head-office dept arranging new store equipment and the till software, hardware (like network cables, wavepoints, LANcards, etc.) The In-Store-Processors we use are Unix based, although the tills work on WinNT (no hate mail please :) ) Having seen the power of Unix, I made a move from Microsoft - first to Linux (currently RedHat 7.1) and recently to FreeBSD 4.4. I like the power Unix has to offer (sinister laughter emanating) and want to take control of it. I've managed to get it talking to my WinME / RedHat7.1 box. Am a computer freak by nature! (Don't know how my wife puts up with it) Am working on a website at http://www.wintellect.co.uk - I want to make it Linux/Unix based, any ideas / suggestions welcome! (Ignore what's currently there, it was a bad attempt at something that went HORRIBLY wrong). How about you?
