I wish to join any local LUGs ( I believe this newsgroup is soley about DC
well I live in Bethesda so I am pretty close)

Hello I am a twelve year old penguin (actually you would probably just
consider me a 'wannabe', but I DO want to be). Just finished downloading Red
Hat Linux 7.2.  Am I within range of your group (please see my contact info
below). Would you mind accommodating this poor young penguin without any
support whatsoever and with very little encouragement. I am the next
generation.

I wish to learn to efficiently use a computer with a command prompt
interface, which is, in my humble opinion, the only way to efficiently
operate a computer. Unlike my father whom can barely type at 15 wpm, I use
the keyboard zealously at high speeds.

I also wish to operate a small little home based server, as soon as I am
able to get my hands on a second machine. Unfortunately that time might not
be until this summer when I am planning on building my next machine. But I
might, depending on how super efficient Linux is ( I know how in numbers,
but I still need some live experience, hopeful to come in the next five
days), I might revive my oldest machine (actually just '97 machine but it
wasn't much then let alone now) and turn it into the server. If it is not
powerful enough to become a server I might transform it into a hardware
firewall and I will live with just a Linux workstation (which itself is on a
partition).

I may not be powerful with programming (though I am hoping to learn some
real languages some time soon), but I wish to be more efficient and am very
good at adapting. I will probably be feeling at home with my Linux system
within 24 hrs. (that is 24 running) of successful installation.

I tried to install it this afternoon but my second CD was corrupt I am now
redownloading the CD and going to reburn and rerun installation tomorrow
hopefully.


By the way my name is Rajiv Sinclair and my contact info is available below.

If your LUG require any recompensation for your sympathy I can provide you
with burnt copies of your favorite LINUX distribution (even though you all
probably have faster connections than me (Comcast High-Speed), and faster
burners (8x), and better CDRs (fujifilms); it will be considered a sign of
devotion.
