I've Got a Life / Used to cycle
May 19, 2013, 02:26:59 PM
As i was here, thought I'd throw something in.  :)

Most of my life I have been a keen cyclist, not serious sport type riding, just going where I please.

When I was fit, in my heyday, I would cycle 100+ miles on a nice summer Sunday.
I would get up & have breakfast then head out to our starting point, & then on the ride, I would have 11's (cafe stop), lunch, including a pint or two, tea (another cafe stop), & get back home for my dinner.  ::)

I don't do a lot of cycling now, but still enjoy it when I do go out. However, I've been eating as if I were still putting in the miles, hence my body has grown a bit & that is why I use 'fatmac' on the forums, to remind me that I must lose some weight!  ::)

Only got broadband (internet) in the last 3 years or so, & I had promised myself that I would give something back to the (linux) community when I could. I probably spend too much time fiddling with my computers, but it keeps me off the streets.  ;)

Introductions / New signee

Hi all, decided to set aside a netbook to give VSIDO a try out, (32bit), Acer Aspre One 532, 1gb ram, 1.6GHz Atom processor, presently with a 64gb SSD.

I've been a Debian user a long time, & have answered questions on various forums including LinuxQuestions, Debian, Crunchbang, AntiX, & Slitaz as my way of giving back to the Linux community.

I have been tempted to run a SID distro for a while now, but just didn't get around to it, until now.
(My computers have been MS free since around 1999.)
