Man, have I ever been out of the loop

Is JohnT still around? MrBen? Bkwaz?

Drifted away from Linux for a while when I went to Mac and got lazy (btw it's a POS). However I got all GEEKY again the other day and fired up the old box which is running Slack 9.1 & Debian Sid--can you say outdated???

Anyhoo, I did get curious about a year or so ago and d/l a live disk of Ubuntu and was SHOCKED to see how there was no fiddling and it even picked up a wireless signal (with the appropriate chipset in the dongle). That's not really much fun so very soon I'm buying a new barebones box and will build another great system and probably do Linux From Scratch.

Hope everyone is well. Thought of mdwatts the other day, with much sadness btw.
