   Good job, Kevin!!  Many many years back I had started with Slackware
and then Red Hat.  Then discovered how *easy* and *stable* Caldera was and
never looked back.  Twelve years ago my job dried up and I decided to run
my own life and become a consultant servicing UNIX and Linux systems for
small businesses.  That later developed into a network monitoring business
traking outages and problems for Internet Service Providers (ISP's) - all
based on Linux platforms.  Over the last 9-1/2 years I have been leading
the local Linux Users Group - oftentimes offering to step down and let
someone else lead it, but they just wouldn't let me pass the reigns.  I
guess they liked my "style".  Finally, I stepped down and they HAD to
choose a new victim...err..leader.  Shortly after that the local community
college offered me a job teaching UNIX/Linux System Administration.  I'm
quite happy with where Linux has lead me :)

   Thank You, Linux and Caldera!
