| {{ terry.jpg?75}} I'm an engineering manager and consultant for [[http://www.eads-tes.com/|Cassidian Test Engineering Services Ltd]] at Ferndown (formerly Racal Instruments). I don't use Linux at work (apart from the fact that some of our servers run Linux) but we'd like to; we just need a safe migration path for our years and years of legacy Excel Custom Functions :-(. I live in Corfe Mullen and subject my family to plenty of Linux around the home, with all but one of our five computers running Linux (mine exclusively). (The holdout is my daughter who has to have MS Office for College). | {{ terry.jpg?75}} I'm a retired engineering manager and consultant who spent most of his career (32 years of it anyway) at a company that was originally called Racal Instruments but ended up as Spherea after around 9 name changes and buyouts. I didn't use Linux at work but have used various 'alternative' operating systems for years; starting with Amiga OS in 1993ish and graduating to Linux around 2000. I live in Corfe Mullen. |

I'm known as scm1hewf or Hugh on the IRC channel. | I'm obsessed with engineering/cars/metalwork and I'm trying to get a linux CNC machine built using EMC2 but progress is slow.

| | I had slight exposure to Unix in my professional life (IBM’s AIX), but my interest started with Andrew Tanenbaum’s book on Minix and Maurice Bach’s book on the design of Unix (my copy dated to August 1989!) |
| | Since then I have followed the Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia distros and make use of Python to automate some aspects of my home life and support my involvement in the National Coastwatch institution. |

| | I've followed this user group for a number of years, and actually attended a meeting when it was held in Dorchester. |
