Berrien Springs (45 min from KZoo, 1 hr from Battle Creek)

RFM (with no computer/prism - needs NuCore badly!)

Been using/admining Linux since 92-93.
Routinely have built kernels (specifically SMP flavors), libraries, GCC, etc.
I primarily use SuSe, but have used RedHat, slackware (the old days!), and a few others.
Won't claim to be an expert at programming (C preferred) but not a novice.

Can also help with hardware issues.

Definitely willing to help in any way possible.

I live in Fenton Michigan, I have a RFM and a SWE1 playfield that I swap. I would love to alpha test Nucore system. I am good with computers, installs, fixing them etc.. I suck at Linux but will learn whatever I need to if it helps in testing. I can also repair any electronic pinball from all makers. I can dedicate any amount of time you need for testing purposes.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm in Rochester Hills, a suburb north of Detroit. I have SWE1 and have lots of experience with computers, and specifically with PC architecture. However my experience with Linux is very limited. I've used it some but never configured it.

Would be interested in alpha testing your system.

Thanks,

The reason I would like people who are in michigan is they would be within driving distance There will also be a beta phase that will open up to people everywhere.

[jgreiner]

Any update on alpha test sites?

[Chuck]

No updates yet. People chosen to alpha test will be notified by me. Once thats done I'll let everyone else know.

Keep me in mind for the beta. 10+ years in hardware and software!
