      Hi and welcome, dps!  (Sorry for the delayed response to your 
mailing list posting.)

      LOL.  By your "Linux based operating systems", I suspect you must 
run different distributions.  Do you have a favorite, or ones that you 
prefer for certain tasks?
      I still have a Windows virtual machine around for tax software and 
another one for WebEx sessions.  I suspect I could maybe get some of 
that working on Fedora Linux under Wine, if I tried.  But there are too 
many higher priorities...

      Embedded as in "Internet of Things", or as in routers, set-top 
boxes & stuff?

      That's awesome!  I hope you can make it to our next meeting on 
Wednesday, February 5th.  I know the CINLUG board is always looking for 
speakers for our meetings, so if there is a topic you'd like to present 
on, I'm sure it would be welcome.

      Thanks for the intro, dps; catch you later!
