Hello everybody! Please join me in welcoming Matt Burleigh to the Digital Creations team!! Matt joins us as our first (and sorely needed!) system administrator.
From Matt's man page: """ I call beautiful and historic Fredericksburg, Virginia my /home. Fishing, hunting, and reading civil war history are my hobbies. Don't tell anyone but I've taken many tech support calls from a boat and even lost a cell phone in the lake once.
In 1983 I got a 1200 baud modem for my 64k IBM PC and it was down hill from there. Sometimes I feel like I spent all of my life in front of a computer. I started the first BBS in the Fredericksburg area and a quite successful one. Eventually becoming Central Virginia mail hub for FidoNET and sucking Usenet newsgroup feeds off of a satellite dish then divvying it up for the local area SysOps. Those Usenet feeds were from this thing called the Internet, which took me by suprise in 1994. At the time I was running a small computer sales and service shop in the area. Once I realized that BBS's and RIP Script (a graphical language for BBS's that was going revolutionize the online world, ha!) wasn't going to make it, we switched our dial-up modems to direct connections to ISPs. In 1996 a friend of mine introduced me to Slackware Linux. This crude operating system really intrigued me and I found it to be an exciting new challenge. A couple months later I began selling used machines with IP masquerading and firewall setups. Soon after that, I convinced a customer of mine to switch from the ever failing Windows NT v3.51 to Linux. The system ran for over 6 months with not one problem or required reboot. I was hooked and swore never to install Windows NT again. """ Matt can be reached at: mailto: mattb@digicool.com Welcome Matt! --Rob -- Rob Page V: 540.371.6909 Digital Creations, Inc.
