Southern fella, started tinkering with RedHat I think waaaaaay back in the day and I have done my share of distro-hopping. I have been settled for some time on Arch and Debian variants. There is much more that I would like to learn (and I try to when I have time)for no reason other than learning. With no educational background in this area (not a coder,programmer,etc.) its almost like therapy to me to try something new, tinker with a new or different kernel or a piece of software.
