I've been a casual Linux user since Slackware 3.0 (Hello Walnut Creek!) and an Ubuntu user since around version 6.06 or 6.10.

After a five year hiatus, I am finally diving back into Ubuntu and getting up to speed on the latest developments and features.

My primary skill set has been focused on the design, implementation, and operation of enterprise networks.

This includes the configuration and operation of network hardware as well as the care and feeding involved in the network monitoring systems supporting them. The hardware includes routers, switches, firewalls, wan-optimizers, and occasionally load balancers (mostly Cisco, Riverbed, and f5 systems).

Apr 16	comment	What is the difference between the different vim packages available in Ubuntu You are going to have to explain, in detail, what you mean by "especially when one has a fixed configuration in ~/.vim folder." as it makes no sense as a general statement.
