Introduction

[-TayloR-]

Hey to all on these here boards, i thought i'd introduce myself, my names TayloR, and im a new first time user to Ubuntu, but not with the whole linux concept, ive used a few other distros and im now trying my hands at this one. Anyhoo i just thought i'd say hey to you all :).

Well as im new to ubuntu i just thought id ask, is there any hints or tips i should know? anything i should read before taking a step further?

Thanks for reading and for any responses :)

Thanks alot jdodson, you shouldnt have said that as ill most likely take you up on the help offer :P.
