[CS-FSLUG] Sandra on the list

[Doug Coats]

Welcome Sandra from another lurker.

I too am a FC fan.  We use 4 different machines at the school that I manage
the network at with a combo of FC1 & 2 boxes.  I also have one FC2 box at
home as my server and a FC1 box that I am experimenting in building a media
center with.

God Bless,

Doug Coats

Ok,
now that I've been *outed* as a lurker, I'd better do a real intro :-)

I've lived in the Treasure Valley (near Boise), Idaho, USA all of my
life.  I grew up in a non-Christian family.  My late father was Jewish,
but mostly non-religious, and my mother was raised in a somewhat
religious family, but she is more interested in new-age type religions.
I was just starting into drugs and new-age stuff myself, when the Lord
saved me just before I turned 15 years old.  That was in 1978 (no
calculators!), and the Lord completely changed my life "all things are
become new"!

I'm an Electrical Engineer at Hewlett-Packard, doing ASIC design, and
have been a Linux and Open Source advocate for many years now, both at
work, personal life, and at church.  I have converted our Christian
school's network and fileserver to Fedora Core 2 (no catcalls, I happen
to like the distribution formerly known as RedHat!).  I'm running Fedora
Core 2 at work, and Fedora Core 1 here at home (haven't had time to
upgrade yet, so just might wait for Core 3 here at home).

I am attending the same local non-denominational church I was saved in.
I've been married for 18 years to a Christian man (he's on a mission's
visit to our church in Albania), and have a 4 month old Golden Retriever
named Ciao Esher Capri.  Ciao, as the Italian greeting, and Esher as in
the Hebrew for "Happy", as in "Happy is that people whose God is the
LORD".  He's adorable, but a major handful!  I hope to train him to be a
pet therapy dog, as we did for 5 years with our last Golden (we lost him
in April due to a tumor of the spleen).

Hope this wasn't too tedious to wade through :-)

Blessings,

Sandra
