    Re: Introductory Posting

    Greetings!

    My name is Brian, I live in the Indianapolis area.

    I first started dabbling in Linux back in the late 90's - probably somewhere in the 98-99 range when I was still in High School. Back then I would dual boot Win98 and whatever the current version of Red Hat was at the time. I never really made an official switch due to the fact that I could never get my darn Zip Drive to work under Linux... ahhh the good days!

    When I was in college I mainly used Slackware. I also managed a few web servers that ran a version of Sun's Linux - it was not Solaris, it was basically just a watered down version of Red Hat.

    For the past few years I have been using Debian on a small Web / storage server at home and have just recently switched my PCs over to run Ubuntu exclusively. ...I also own a Mac.

    At work I use Ubuntu Server for my monitoring machines and I am in the process of building up a virtualized development environment using Ubuntu.

    I hope to see some activity on this forum - it really is a good way to reach out and be a part of the local Linux community.

    Salutations,

    I am in the Frankfort area, about 50miles north of Indy. I have used linux/UNIX for around 15years. Redhat, Slackware, Solaris, BSDi, FreeBSD, and Ubuntu are some I have used over the years. I look forward to finding people in my area that are also interested in Linux.

    I am also looking forward to Indiana Linuxfest!

    Hey from the south side of Indy!

    I started using Linux about 8 months ago. I was reading Linux books and trying to install PC Linux '07 on an old computer and got hooked. I couldn't get the GUI to work and we didn't have the internet at the time, so I spent quite a lot of time using text commands and midnight commander. I got comfortable in those environments, but I'm not sure I learned much.

    After that, I installed pendrivelinux on my flashdrive to use at school. It is still there now.

    Then, after our windows machine (this one) stopped functioning, I found and ordered two Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon live cds and a Kubuntu Hardy Heron live cd. I kept one and gave the other to a friend. I ended up reinstalling windows because mom is slow to accept change, but she's coming around...

    I want to learn more about Ubuntu's intricacies and help spread the power.

    thx
