UPDATE

Nov 30, 2008

At the moment I am having an issue installing mysql on my lappy - anyone care to assist me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4719036

*NOTE* [SOLVED] - for some reason the system was not automatically making the mysql user. It still does this when an app needs user-level access (like clamav).

**SOLVED** I had some custom bash scripts installed and one for 'adduser' was called BEFORE the system one - so I mucked up the PATH. Fixed path order and all good now.

About

Ok, go ahead and ask - "What's up with the name?"

It's the best way I could describe myself.

I'm somewhat of a new-age thinker, Taoist in the way that I think and approach the world, Techno because, well, I'm a geek ok? Finally, Pagan - yes, I am Pagan - albeit an eclectic mixture of Taoism, Buddhism, Wicca, Druidism, and even some Hindu. I'm on my own path and and it's taken me a while to find it.

So as to why I am here, well I enjoy tinkering with Linux. I started with Mandrake at 7.1 and then tried out FreeBSD 4.2 - getting X to work back then wasn't anywhere as easy. From there I tried Debian and was hooked on it until I found Linux From Scratch (LFS). I then found myself in Gentoo Land and was very happy. I still say to this day that Gentoo is my distro of choice, but I do enjoy using Ubuntu and Debian as well.
