well, from a man .. i can say that i'm here just as any other mailing list
... to educate myself through reading about other problems and their
solutions .. and mostly to help others when i can.
the fact that this is a linuxchix mailing list has nothing to do with it
really. i'm just really glad to see women hacking into the linux OS ..
because i believe everyone should :)
i'm not a big microsoft or bill gates fan, for several reasons. as this
isn't a "why we hate MS" mailing list, i'll refrain from elaborating upon
that here :)
unfortunately, i don't find myself with a lot of time to sit down and keep
myself up to date with the current issues being discussed on the lists.
i'm also subscribed to several windowmaker and gnome mailing lists, the
oms and omi lists, these linuxchix lists, bugtraq of course, and others.
quite a bit to keep up on :)
