Introduction

[Douglas Hardison]

Hello All,

My name is Douglas Hardison. My friends all call me 'Woody'.
I have just completed my application to Fedora Amabassadors.
The nice people in #fedora on FreeNode alerted me to its existence, and
pointed me to the Ambassador HowTo.

I am 35 years old ( come this Friday ), and I currently live in Clayton, 
North Carolina. Clayton is a small town just outside Raleigh.
I am recently transplanted from the city of Wilson, NC; home of the 
'World's Largest Tobacco Market'.

I am married and have a seven year old daughter, and an 11 month old son.

I currently work support Linux-based network monitoring appliances.
Before that, I was an admin at a local ISP in Wilson, where I obtained 
most of my Linux knowledge. Everything from email to RADIUS to web 
proxies, etc...

I have been using Linux for approximately 10 years or so. I did not 
start out with RedHat, but eventually ended up using RedHat 5.0. At that 
time, I found it the most intuitive, *plus* easy to install distribution.

As my wiki page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DouglasHardison ) 
states, I have played with other distributions, but always return to my 
roots :-)

I hope to become an active member in the Fedora community, and give back 
a little of what Linux has done for me.

Woody:

Welcome aboard. I also worked at a local ISP for a while. It's a great
way to get grounded in a bunch of technologies very quickly.

John,

Ah yes, the ISP was an excellent learning ground. The phrase "trial by 
fire" comes to mind.
:-)
