Hello and welcome!  I sent my first post only a few months ago myself.
 Planning on coming to the next meeting?

I'm also a Debian/Ubuntu guy.  Has anyone here ever conducted a poll
(say on cialug.org) of member's distro preferences?  That might be an
interesting graph.  Also interesting would be the other perennial
flamebait polls like vi-alikes vs. emacsen, Gnome vs. KDE, etc.  But I
digress.

That Gumstix thing sounds interesting.  I do embedded systems and
[obviously] care more than a little about Linux.  In fact, I'm always
on the lookout for ways to get into actually doing embedded linux for
a living.  What would your Gumstix RC car do?
