I've been using FreeBSD and OpenBSD on and off for about
        the last 8 years. Started out with FreeBSD after running
        Slackware and Apache server for about 6 months to host my
        domain out of my home. I used an account at mydomain.com
        to provide stealth redirection to my router which forwarded
        port 80 calls to my server. IP address wasn't guaranteed
        static, but it seldom changed. Ran FreeBSD and Apache for
        another year, hosting the domain, then had to let it go
        for a business pursuit that eventually didn't pan out.
	Now I'm back to hacking around on my computers at home and
	getting ready to get another domain possibly. I run OpenBSD
	3.9 on an old HP Netserver circa '98, a not quite so old
	home built PIII, and an old Toshiba 4015CDT laptop. Got
	another home built PIII running XP, but that's for when I'm
	feeling lazy. I hope to eventually be able to pay back the
	BSD projects for all they've done for me and so many others,
	by having a domain with enough gigs per month to be able
	to run a mirror for at least one of the projects. Meantime,
	I'm currently involved in trying to learn more about pf,
	multimedia, printing, et al. 
        Got an old Aprioris from a friend who had it given to him
	from a local yacht club after hurricane Katrina. It's got
	6 1G drives and, being old and expendable, it's a good
	candidate to practice on. I was also given a Dell 2.22
	Celeron which I added an extra hard drive to, a new hotter
	video card instead of using the integrated one, and 1.5G of
	RAM instead of the 384 it came with. I also put in an extra
	fan to make sure things stayed cool. Then, on top of all
	the other good luck, a friend sent me a 2.66 P4 cpu, so I
	swapped the old one out and installed it. Now all I need
	are possibly some street slicks, flames on the side and a
	coon tail on the antenna and I'll be set. ;)
	I hope to publish as many help files and tutorials here as
	time permits. And, it'll help me learn more about gopher.
