Intro ( Mark Thomas )

Houdy everyone!
yes I'm a newbie here

I'm a big fan of the BSD's, in particular NetBSD. Don't have much use for Linux or the various "distro's" of it ( no flame intended ). I'm going to try Solaris 10 on an i386 box real soon.

By day I'm a CAD tech for a local government entity, by night I'm a father ( and mother ) of three children. I also have a forum ( www.theswamp.org ) for my fellow CAD types and programmers.

My web, mail and file servers all run NetBSD as does my PC and old laptop. I'm really looking forward to OpenBSD 4, I've wanted to try that OS for sometime now and that looks like a gem, kudo's to Theo de Raadt.
