Your not trying hard enough. I didn't have any troubles back when my
desktop was incredibly low-end. When it took me 9 hrs to compile
evolution. 16 hrs to compile SSL and over a day to fully compile wine.

This .sig has a nice point, you are advocating linux.conf.au. However,
the correct address is http://www.linux.conf.au
There are a few things that you don't need in your .sig though: your
email address is already at the top of this email, no one need to know
that Linux Rules we know that you think that from your name, and ascii
art has no place in any signature at all.

I would consider a revised signature, something like:
-----------------------------------------------
LinuxAlien
Riverton, Perth, WA

Australian Linux Technical Conference, Perth 2003 http://linux.conf.au
-----------------------------------------------
Which would fir in the more standard 4 lines (yes I am aware I have a 5
line sig, that will be fixed post january :)
