I am an Aussie, living in Quebec (and speaking crummy French). I have been working with linux for Linux Quebec Technologies (LQT Systems) for about 6 months now full on, and for 6 months before that I was just playing around with linux - with Mandrake mostly (btw - gotta love their new galaxy theme). I have been a fan of Red Hat since 7.3 and it has been my stable distro ever since. Tried many others and liked them all, but for whatever reasons (mainly laziness) I seemed to always come back to my good old Red Hat install.
