[ale] Introduction

[Jason Fritcher]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the Atlanta area and have been looking for a new LUG to join. 
I really liked what I saw on the website, so I joined the mailing list 
and thought I would introduce myself.

As the From line points out, my name is Jason Fritcher. I first started 
using Linux way back in late 94 with Yggdrasil then Slackware, but only 
tinkered with Linux for the next 4 or 5 years. Then I got a job that 
required me to learn unix programming and my interest in Linux took off. 
In the last 5 years, I've used all the mainstream distros and have 
settled on liking Gentoo the best with Debian being a close second. :)

I'm currently a software engineer for Earthlink, doing mainly C and Java 
development with a little Perl thrown in to annoy me. :) In my spare 
time, I'm learning C++ and Python, and tinkering with writing a toy OS. 
I've been with Earthlink for 5 1/2 years and moved to Atlanta because of 
a transfer to here from Pasadena, CA. I must say that I like it here 
much better than Pasadena. :)

In closing, I'm looking forward to the meetings, and the chance to meet 
more people who are interested in Linux.

Thanks
