Name is Jim, have been using Linux Lite on and off for years. Have several old ex-windows laptops that are happy once again running LL. W7 just ain't no good no more! Used to run Apache server on one, and have a W10 laptop with a hard drive so tiny that Winders won't update -- that one might be next.
These are scattered about the house so as needed someone might grab one and browse away the day. And Samba is running on them all -- file sharing is really sweet.
And I've a goal to publish some open source software. I could never find a picture viewer with all the right features so why not write my own. Using Qt on LL and windows, just coming to terms with Qt Creator. Two things remain -- Zooming with the scroll wheel and working with EXIF data. Fun stuff.
Yeah I'm an old software guy -- PDP 11, DOS, SuperDOS and all the flavours of windows. And now with LL trying to be a little more than an appliance operator.
Good to meet you all,
Jim
