It's good to see. I have a fair bit of Linux experience as I have been using
it for just over 8 years. Most of my experience is in networking and Internet
type systems and security, but I dabble in some open source programming in C
and perl.
I would be interested in talking to some databse gurus. In particular are
there any Postgresql gurus on this list? (I know mtu is using it thats why I
ask..)

I am happy to help anyone out who needs linux help, but I need to understand
the questions and I am at the stage of basic conversational Turkish only,
definately not good enough to understand a technical mailing list :-(
