   Hello old friend. ;-)

   Oh, I've always been around, but given the low traffic volume in this   
   newsgroup, I am mainly in lurk mode here. ;-)

   Lots of health problems, but otherwise, same old, same old.  Very busy   
   these days fighting trolls in alt.os.linux.ubuntu, which I'm happy to   
   say finally seems to be lifting itself up out of the mud again after a   
   long time. ;-)

   Or - if you'll pardon the troll comment in a Mandriva group - you could   
   always go with Mageia.  It's very similar to Mandriva, and quite mature   
   by now. ;-)
