I've always wanted to get more involved with plug since I have a passion for and have been using Linux since '93; I've mostly lurked on this list for years.  Linux is 10000% easier to install, use, and

 configure than it was when I started; rock solid stable too.  I manage to load up my life with work, business, teaching, and taking classes so I have no time to attend :(

I need to make time :)
