I'm guessing you see loads of these threads, but I thought I'd introduce myself anyway.

I'm Lasse Nielsen, a geek from early childhood (the age of 6), now 14 but with more computer and technology knowledge than your average 14 yearold.
I run my own blog at MenZa.org (http://www.menza.org), which I use a couple of hours every week to tweak (but I never seem to get really happy with how it looks ;))

I'm a newly convert to Ubuntu linux, and after some time working in the GNOME Desktop Environment, I thought I'd try downloading KDE and mess around with that, and I have been stuck with KDE ever since.

My first Linux distro was Mandriva (or well, when it was still called Mandrake) that I tried to run on a virtual PC, but it never really worked out, so I ditched the idea again.
When I saw that 5.10, Breezy Badger was released on a Danish technology news site, I thought I'd give it a try so I downloaded the Kubuntu live CD and checked it - it seemd awesome, so I decided to go download the full version of it - but I accidentally installed the Ubuntu one (oh yeah, and I never figured out that it was actually Ubuntu until I had used it for a few hours :rolleyes:).
I was pretty unhappy with myself, as I wrote above, one day I found out that you could upgrade so I did, and now I'm using Kubuntu about 90% of the time, even though I'm dualbooting with WinXP.

I don't really think there's much more I should tell - and you're probably quite tired of reading if you've read from the top to here, so I'll conclude this post.

Hi Lasse,

Because your post has somehow been overlooked by the admins, I would like to say welcome to you.

It is amazing what you can do with computers at 14. I saw that you translate manuals to Danish as well. I hope you will feel at home here, and that this may turn out to be a nice place to visit.
