I'll be 49 next month and I have a home network with 2 linux machines (RH9 and FC1), 2 NetBSD machines (1.6.1), and 2 FreeBSD machines (4.8 and 5.2.1). Oh, and one Win2k machine. But I'm no computer professional. The only formal computer training I've had was a FORTRAN class back in 1972. The rest I've picked up on my own. -- -John (john@xxxxxxxxxxx)
