Hello Ubuntu Forum Users. Just thought I would make a quick little introduction here. My name is Dylan, I'm 14 years old and I live in Chicago IL, USA. I've been using Linux off and on since I was 10. I just recently got my own laptop for a graduation present and thought I would look into Ubuntu. So I installed it and I'm absolutely loving it!

Other things;

I play competitive traveling soccer and I love graphic/web design.

In honesty, I don't watch much professional soccer or pay much attention to it. Although, Beckham seems to be dieing out, he was the new thing a couple years back. Now it's all about Ronaldinho and how he is the new superstar. I wish in America they showed more professional soccer on T.V. I would actually watch it if they did.

England played Brazil the other night in a friendly and Beckham did more than Ronaldihno...

He's actually been on of Real Madrid's best players at the end of the season, wanting to go out on a high note I expect.

I think the problem with Soccer on TV in America is you have to have 45 minutes without adverts!

Yes thats exactly why. The money guzzlers think that anymore then 5 minutes without adverts is loss of money. Thats why American Football is aired so much because they get at least 1 commercial in every play.

Also like I said I don't follow much professional soccer. In America however, Ronaldinho is much more popular then Beckham.

He's certainly a more exciting and skilled player. You've seen the You Tube clip of him and his golden boots I take it?

What position do you play?

Yes I've seen many youtube clips of him. I watch many youtube soccer clips, just not the actual games. My main position is right midfielder. Although on occasion, depending on the circumstances I will play right full back or right forward.
