I prefer to keep my name private, but I am from Clemson, SC. My skills are:

• High amount of experience with hosting game servers. I have hosted a The Mana World server and an OpenSim server for Second Life.
• Some experience with Gimp
• Lots of experience with bash
• Expert at installing things

I hope I can be of use to the South Carolina Local Community Team

Nice to be among friends, some people react very weird to Linux, almost like it is some kind of plague.

I'm like the rest of you here pushing Ubuntu to family and friends!

My side hobby is to restore older computers and give them to those who need them for school or work.

I've ran into just about every problem known to man setting up a 100 or so computers/laptops over the last couple of years!

I could not image being able ot do what I'm doing now with all the rules Microsoft imposes on everyone!

Hope to get together with you guys in the near future!

Hello all, I have made a few posts on the Ubuntu forums but up until now I have kept mostly to myself. I am currently residing in Powdersville, SC, although I am originally from Chicago, IL.

My skills are a bit more hardware oriented, and I have only been using Ubuntu regularly for a few months. Before then I experimented with Debian, which is of course similar, but I never made the full transition until recently. I am skilled in running large scale alliances in games as well, that can consist of anywhere between 80-1000 people, as well as running forums in IVF and IPB. (Used to be skilled with phpBB and SMF, but I am not very familiar with them anymore).

Anywho, I do use IRC regularly though on a different network. I am currently in the SC Channel, but it is dead as a doornail.

So to sum things up, Hi!

Hey DivineTemplar,

Welcome to Ubuntu SC! I see I just missed you and Flare on IRC. Ping me during the day or night on IRC feel free to /msg me anytime.

Again, welcome to the team. I look forward to getting to know you. I grew up in Powdersville (on Riverside Drive .

Cheers,

Craig

Just ran across this and figured I'd join in too. I saw a couple/few other midlands members (Sumter/Florence). I'm in Columbia. Been playing with Linux since Fedora 3. Been using it regularly since Fedora 5. Been using Ubuntu since around 6.xx. I play with a lot of distros, but use Ubuntu the majority of the time. My day job is almost entirely MS-win.
