Welcome back!  (metaphorically speaking)

I was just using Trinux yesterday, and reading about UbuntuTrinux at the 
same time (I'm using it on a 486DX2/66 - it's slow enough that I get to 
read stuff while waiting for things :-)

I'm using Trinux to get files onto and off the 486 (which is usually 
running dos), and as a rescue distro on some of my computers (eg. an old 
laptop which has no functioning removable media - it's easier to boot 
into Trinux and fix things than it is to pull the HDD out)

I've learnt a lot from fiddling with Trinux.  Have often thought about 
trying to extend/update it myself, but always come back to the fact that 
even though it is still useful, it really is a relic which is better 
replaced than updated.

That's not old - I still use a PII-400 as my daily machine!

I look forward to following your progress with UbuntuTrinux  :-)
