Where in South Dakota? I'm in Aurora,Colorado. Most of my wife's
relatives are in North Dakota (a few in South Dakota), and we make the
trek through South Dakota at least every other year (either through
the Black Hills or through Pierre). Glad to hear you are pleased with
gentoo!

Just to complete the demographics. I'm in the 30+ generation - getting
ready to apply for social security in a couple of months. I'm
originally from East Texas (Texarkana), graduated from SMU before a
few of you were born, and I've lived in Colorado longer than anywhere
else including my home town.

I started with Slackware in the 386 days, then migrated to Caldera
(thus this list), then wound up with gentoo. I'm a hobbyest (sp?), but
would love to have a job working linux.
