(re)introducing myself

[Aaron Krister Johnson]

Hi all,

I've been in and out of these lists, maybe posting a couple of times, but I wanted to just give a shout out to you all.

Briefly, I am a pianist/organist/synthesist/composer, and have been using Linux since the old days of 1997, when the only real distro out there worth installing was Slackware!!!! I've been a Linux addict since, currently I've settled on Arch Linux, I've done all the major brances except RedHat/Fedora in my 12 years as a Linux geek since it's simplicity, modularity, stability and high performance seem to meet well with my audio needs....

ALL of the music I've written was either produced/recorded or synthesized on a Linux system using all free software, check it out at http://www.akjmusic.com/works.html

I also started a microtonal music series, here in Chicagoland (Evanston, IL is where I live), it's a big passion of mine, check that out at http://www.untwelve.org

That's all for now...but I'll be back to make an announcement of a pending software release....

Cheers!

I wonder why do you think that Debian was not a real distro worth
installing on 1997??? I was a very happy user of Debian since 1996 and
I liked both Red Hat and Slackware before that. Slackware was nice, but
I definitely don't agree that it was "the only real distro out there
worth installing".

obviously, the only distro worth installing back in 1997 was S.u.S.E.
linux.

Hmm....didn't mean to start YADW (yet another distro war)...FWIW, I no longer hold either Debian or Slackware in high esteem, and prefer Arch! ;)

Actually, what I remember at the time was that Slackware was big, and I wasn't aware really of Debian. Ret Hat was in infancy.

But anyway, my point was to share my music with people, and the fact that it's all made with Linux:

Cheers,

LEDs? Luxury.

When I were a lad, you had to sense one or zero by touching the
metal switches, and telling whether the voltage coursing through
your body was AC or DC.
