[olug] SuSE or RHEL or Centos or Fedora or Xandros

[Terry]

Well, you see, I am looking out for your health.  Aside from doughnut
day at work, Tomb Raider, Slashdot polls, and the occasional jog to
the vending machine for another mountain dew,  your heart rates do not
get above 100.  Just contributing to a heart-healthy discussion.

:)
