Congratulations and best wishes on your venture.
I was one of your new readers on LXer, now on BlueGNU.
Began using small computers with the Commodore64, Kaypro, then various clones; CP/M, MSDOS, win31/95/98. Learned the basics from MuLinux on floppies, then SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake, Mepis, Kanotix and now sidux. Run XP only under duress.
35 years experience in oilwell drilling & completion fluids, English, technical translations, etc.
8 years experience in software libre: Founder, Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org in Spanish, http://es.openoffice.org.
Ported ispell Spanish dictionary to myspell for OOo100.
Thanks for the kudos! It's
Thanks for the kudos! It's heartening to see you still find me worth reading. I'm a pretty big fan of OOo, and used it to publish Penguin in the Pew. I lurk on the Marketing and Users lists. And I, too, avoid Windows as much as possible, though the full-time job forces it on me. Does having a mortgage count as duress where using Windows is concerned? ;-) If I can turn this into a full-time adventure (which is my goal), I'll be able to leave Windows in the dust for good.
Glad to meet you!
