My first root was 12 years old on a RH 7.1, and at the moment four Debian
3.0's and I'm 13.

I started out programming for real for Department of the Army at Yuma
Proving Ground in 1975 on old IMB system. We later graduated to Univac
1108. Later moved to PDP systems. I moved to White Sands Missile Range
in 1983, working on PDP-11/45. Later migrated to Vax 11/780, and in
early 90's to DECstation 5000 (we got the first ones installed in the
sales region). After few years, ported to DEC Alpha, and finally moved
to DELL RH system a couple of years ago. It has been interesting.
