world and would like to introduce myself. I am 21 years old, and have been using
Linux and Unix for a little over 7 years. I began my Linux experience
at a small ISP in Western Australia called Skynet Communications. I then moved
on to building various ISP's such as Servcom Australia, Elink Media Limited and
doing some contract work for Net Unlimited.</FONT></DIV>

Telecommunication's and have also worked for iiNet Limited.</FONT></DIV>

Job involves Linux and I find myself working on Linux project's about 7 hours a

actually joined a local Usergroup and I figured now it is time to
Join.</FONT></DIV>
