...making Linux just a little more fun!
Dale A. Raby is an ornery old man who started out on the original IBM PC back
in the day of running MS-DOS programs while convalescing in Ireland Army
Community Hospital and working for Captain James. Upon release from that
particular episode of his military service, he bought a Tandy 600 laptop
which still works after a fashion.
He picked up a more "modern" computer in 1998 and began publishing a general
interest webzine, The Green Bay Web. Quickly discovering that Wind0ws 95 was
about as reliable as a drunken driver with sleep deprivation, he made the
conversion to Linux over the protestations of every member of his household. He
now uses Fedora Core and since discovering Yum, has managed to keep his systems
relatively up to date.
Dale is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay with a background
in photography and print journalism. He is also a shade tree blacksmith who can
often be seen beating red-hot iron into shape in his driveway. He has been
known to use hammers and other Big Tools to "repair" uncooperative computers.
He is a conservative WASP, abhors political correctness, and... not to be too
cliché... enjoys hunting and shooting. Yes, that is a shotgun. No,
it is not a rifle. Yes, there is a difference.
