Short post: I just found ALUG. And joined. And thought others might be interested.

About Mel Baggs

Hufflepuff. Came from the redwoods, which tell me who I am and where I belong in the world. I relate to objects as if they are alive, but as things with identities and properties all of their own, not as something human-like. Culturally I'm from a California Okie background. Crochet or otherwise create constantly, write poetry and paint when I can. Proud member of the developmental disability self-advocacy movement. I care a lot more about being a human being than I care about what categories I fit into.

  1. Estee: It’s a group for autistic people (and other people who are positive about autism in general) who use, among other things, Linux (which is an operating system on a computer, an example of another operating system being Windows).

  2. Hi! I’ve selected Ubuntu for my desktops (home network), but I’m still shopping for a Server OS (Ubuntu is still missing somewhat in that area).
    I would like to use Debian stable (when sarge hits the net), and I saw talks that they will introduce a fixed release cycle like Ubuntu (but 12-18 months).
    Can anyone confirm if there is already a decision on that? I dread installing something that is nog going to be updated another 3 years :)
    Thanx for any help)

  3. I typically use Slackware or one of it’s ports. It’s actually ideal for a server, and it’s so much more configureable. (They actually expect you to go and edit the configs with vi/emacs)
