>Greetings from Jim Dennis</H3>
<!-- begin greeting -->
<p>I was working on a long, involved, probably tasty message to use
for my greetings this month. Unfortunately, it's long, involved, and I
think I want to rearrange it a bit, but don't have a lot of time because
we're heading down to L.A. to be with family -- specifically, a science
fiction convention we attend every year. </p>
<p>So, I'll aim for something less lofty. I'm finally getting a chance to
work a bit with my new improved workstation, and I must say I'm quite
pleased with console-apt (a curses interface for Debian's "apt" package
manager). We still have quite a mixed bag of distributions around the
house though. I think I might write an article comparing the various
package management styles available. I may or may not focus only on
Linux for that.</p>
<p>Sadly I get to spend even more time in Arizona after I get back. Most
people would call me crazy, but I like it a bit better when it's gray
and rainy -- reminds me of my youth in Oregon. </p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.</p>
