ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Carl Couric - Native Floridian!

Carl started computing back in 1978 with a TRS-80 and then DEC a.k.a.
"Digital" type computers.  He moved into OpenVMS around 1984 and began
specializing in that, and then began working with Unix based OS.

Carl met Linus Torvalds while he was still a Grad Student at a DECUS
(DEC Users Symposium) and took Linus's advice to get a copy of Linux
[circa 1994] and loaded it on a 386 33Mhz.  He has been using Linux
OSes in many forms since then.
