Okay,

I've had quite a bit of discussion in the past few hours, yet I don't 
think I've introduced myself. My name is Matt Bockman and I run a 
Mandrake Linux server. It runs Apache for its web server, and Qmail for 
its email server. I've been into computers since the summer between the 
5th and 6th grade, when I went to a computer camp and they taught me how 
to make a web page. Since then I've learned a lot about computers, and 
I've _started_ picking up C/C++ and I'm learning a lot. I love Linux for 
my server, but I mainly use Windows on my main machine because a) I 
could never get a Windows emulator to work for Linux, and b) I play lots 
of games and stuff. I do duel boot, and I use Gentoo Linux for my Linux 
distro on my main machine.

I won't go into the detail of my machines. I've got a main computer, a 
test-server (built from spare parts), and my regular server. My regular 
server also acts as a NAT server, because I share my cable modem with my 
sister. My dad funds me in my computer stuff, because he really wants me 
to learn it, and I'm interested.

Other things that you might want to know about me:

I'll be playing hockey for my Freshman year at RB Highschool. I'll most 
likely be playing goalie for the Junior Varsity team.

I'm 14 years old, yay.

I met this wonderful angel named Janelle. She's my girlfriend. If you 
wanna see a picture of us go here: http://www.thetechbox.com/beautiful.htm
She's my angel from heaven, and she's the most wonderful girl that I've 
ever met.

I run a website that has a really bad design. I've developed 8 designs 
since this design for the site, all better then the current, but none 
worth the time to change it. When I come up with something nice I'll 
change it... My website is www.thetechbox.com and I host it off my own 
cable modem.

I run a BBS for my friends and I, feel free to post there. Its 
http://www.thetechbox.com/bbs/... If you're wondering why it has near no 
posts, its because its pretty new.

Thats me in a nutshell.
