Haha, yes it is! I'm STILL wanting to come over for a few ales - fresh from the tap, UK style :)
My brother was always the more technical one than me. If I gave you two pointers, he gave you 200!
I've only just gotten back into Linux (at his behest :P), can't believe I had dropped it entirely past few years. Beautiful OS. Tried getting back into Amiga this year, but OS is too flakey, unfortunately. When my brother comes back down in a couple of weeks, he wants to install Debian on the A4000. Hope it's a successful install!
The family well?
