"Welcome, introduce yourself" Thread

[ErikTheRed]

Hi my name is Erik, I'm currently 19 and enrolled in college. I live in the suburbs in Illinois, and attend college at Purdue in Indiana.

I've been using Kubuntu since Breezy Badger. Before that I was mainly using Windows but muddled a bit with Linux, Gentoo was my first Linux experience and it was quite horrifying. I finally settled on Kubuntu due to Ubuntu's awesome community.

Last month I actually moved all of my machines to Kubuntu, which worked for me for a while. But I'll admit I'm a gamer at heart, so I had to switch back to doing a dual-boot with Windows. I still love Kubuntu but until there's more commercial-grade games on Linux it looks like I'm stuck dual booting.

I also bought a Zune recently (please don't hurt me!). I've enjoyed it very much so far, but I'm peeved that it doesn't work in linux as of yet (I guess they introduced some new things that aren't covered under libmtp yet).

I've been on the forums for quite a while, but I thought it'd be time to introduce myself.

Hi everyone!

I'm Allan, a 17 year old Linux newb who was stuck with Linux because when I was trying to make this laptop dual boot with Linux and Windows XP, I accidentally deleted my XP OS.

I have big dreams. One of which is to customize Ubuntu completely to the point that it would look like a new OS built just for me.

I love this community so much because people give a damn to my problems even if they don't have to. I hope that this community can grow and people will treat other members warmer.

I have been a linux lurker for about 6 years after trying Mandrake 6.1 I believe, have played on and off with it since then, more recently SUSE and Mandriva 10.x, and Yoper Linux.

but after much reading about ubuntu, I figured I'd jump aboard, ubuntu will be my server. no matter how long it takes me to get it running, I am determined to start the migration away from windows.

I'm from Ontario Canada

Hello,

I am a 22 year old norwegian guy who suddenly got my eyes opened to linux and ubuntu. I just had to make sure I got my laptop all set up before I told my friends And thanks to the excellent help posts in this forum!

Anyway, it gives me a good feeling not to be loaded with a pirated Win XP etc..
