-!!!Nothing Interesting here - Yet !  
-So I thought I should make my fist wiki page, but what about the content?  
+!!!Ivan's (Slowly) evolving page.  
  
-''Welcome. How about a bit about yourself? --AristotlePagaltzis''  
+As per prodding from AristotlePagaltzis, I 've decided to put some more about me here ; -)  
  
-Not quite sure what this page will become , but for the moment I'll just use this as a repository for some links to wlug wiki pages:  
+I've been using Lunix, intermittently , for about 4 years. It all started when I was to investigate the usefullness of Linux as production servers (File, Web, Firewall, DHCP, DNS, etc,). I chose to not install X, but in stead try to learn more about Linux, using the [CLI] only. That was one of the toughest projects that I ever undertook, but one of the most rewarding. I decided that [Linux] was great for server applications, but that is was not quite mature enough to replace [MicrosoftWindows] as a desktop [GUI]. For a period after moving to NZ, there was a bit of a Linux drought for me, but soon after moving to [Hamilton], I discovered the [WLUG]. I picked up a copy of [Ubuntu] 5.04 at a meeting. I tried [Ubuntu] on a [Pentium] 233Mhz as a test. I was converted! IMHO the Linux GUI / Desktop OS has (finally) arrived. Linux has become accessible to the [LinuxNewbie]. Finally the [LinuxDistribution] looks, feels, functions, and even improves on commercial [OS]es.  
+(BTW, I don't consider myself a [LinuxExpert] by a long way.)  
  
+  
+! My Preferences:  
+* Ubuntu > * (General purpose desktop box)  
+* [GPL] > *  
+* [GNOME] > [KDE] (But Just)  
+  
+Well, that's enough soul-searching, for the moment. Hopefully I'll be inspired to update this page soon (or not depending on your point of view).

+The following links are for MY benefit:
