Hey Tony!

 TL> I started working with Linux in late 1995.

I am thinking 1996-ish in my case.  Certainly no later than that.

 TL> We ended up going down the Linux route

Same thing here including the FreeBSD experimentation.

Speaking of experimentation;

It still has that new compiler smell.  :-)
