[Thomas Schulte <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm Thomas Schulte from Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

My first SuSE Linux version was 7.1, I think.
After configuring my first apache webserver and beeing online for about 5 
minutes (via modem and "every second billing") I knew that this would be the 
beginning of a great friendship. :-)

My current hardware consists of 
* a desktop machine (AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+)
* an HTPC (Intel Celeron E1500)
* an netbook (Asus EEE PC 1000H) 
* a brand new root-server (Intel Core i7-920) with VMware Server + VMs

At the moment I'm interested in KDE desktop and FreeNX, because I'd like to 
work in a VM on my remote server to take advantage of it's power.  :-)
In times of not programming Java, I'm working on my mail-/webserver 
environment or I'm experimenting with KIWI and SuSE Studio to create a 
customized ThinClient system. In addition, I have a good knowledge about some 
server daemons like DHCP, DNS, Postfix, Cyrus IMAPd, Apach2, MySQL, ...

My timezone is UTC +2 (Daylight Saving Time). 

At the moment I'm not sure where to start in this new group, but I think that 
an IRC meeting and (of course) this mailing list is going to organize the 
different options and tasks. :-)


Regards,
Thomas
