Hey guys and gals,

I'm new here. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and to introduce myself.

I have been experimenting with Linux off and on for some time. I tried, RedHat, Mandrake, SUSE and now ubuntu. As you know, ubuntu is by far, the best of the best, the creme de la creme. And I have been very content with it. So I will stick with this distro.

My main goal is to convert my entire small office to ubuntu (Linux in general) and away from XP (Windows in general). I just have to learn Wine and CrossOver Office and confirm that a couple of my Winblows applications will work properly or satisfactorily under Linux. So for now, two systems are dual-booting and the others are fully ubuntu.

I am looking forward to great conversations on this forum.

Talk to you all later.
