<P> Gerard is the founder of TTS Solutions. TTS' aim is to provide a wide range
|
|
of services to the Linux community, for free. This free help is based on the
|
|
philosophy that we know what it feels like to be in need of help and answers
|
|
and not able to find them. Or one does find somebody and that person is willing
|
|
to help...for a price.

<P> Bill, the ComputerHelperGuy, lives in Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada; the
|
|
"Catfish Capitol of North America" if not the world. He is on the Internet at
|
|
<A HREF=http://www.chguy.net>www.chguy.net</A>. He tells us "I have been a PC
|
|
user since 1983 when I got my start as a Radio Shack manager. After five years
|
|
in the trenches, I went into business for myself. Now happily divorced from
|
|
reality, I live next to my Linux box and sell and support GPL distributions of
|
|
all major Linux flavours. I was a beta tester for the PC version of Playmaker
|
|
Football and I play `pentium-required' games on the i486. I want to help Linux
|
|
become a great success in the gaming world, since that will be how Linux will
|
|
take over the desktop from DOS." It is hard to believe that his five years of
|
|
university was only good for fostering creative writing skills.

<IMG ALT="[ Penguin reading the Linux Gazette ]"

|
|
|
|
<P> This was quite an eventful month for me. It started with the WTO week,
|
|
then I got sick, then I started a big web project at work, then I had a
|
|
couple personal issues, then Christmas (I made my mom curry). And now
|
|
(Dec. 28) it's three days to New Year's, when the Millenium Bug will or
|
|
will not cause problems, and terrorists will or will not attack, but I will
|
|
definitely be out with me mates celebrating. New Year's festivities at Seattle
|
|
Center were cancelled today; no doubt the mayor didn't want to think about
|
|
having two disasters in one month.
|
|
|
|
<P> Meanwhile, the <I>Linux Gazette</I> letter of the month arrived:
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
I'm very pleased to contact with Red Hat.
|
|
I would like to ask you a faver.
|
|
Please let me know the e-mail address of the "STOCK MANAGER".
|
|
I have several questions for your stock and the business progress state with
|
|
Korea.
|
|
I'm looking forward to your quick response.
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
|
|
<P> I wrote back saying,
|
|
"Hi. The Linux Gazette is not related to Red Hat. Please contact
|
|
Red Hat directly via their web site, www.redhat.com."
