Hello ubuntu forum members!

[Drufuss]

Greetings and salutations!

My name's Drufuss (okay, my nickname) and i just registered here.

I have little experience with Suse Linux (got it to run somehow, but many things still give me a headache) and wanted to try another Distro so i ordered the CD's when i stumbled over some postings about Ubuntu in another forum (abxzone.com).

So far i am very happy with ubuntu (mainly because of the info i got from your postings here) and i think ubuntu will become my main OS in the not so far future.

So thanks for the help you already provided, hope that i can be of help on one or the other topic as well.

Greetings

If you are shopping around for linux distros, I might suggest distrowatch (http://www.distrowatch.org). It is a list of all the distros out there and how to get them. Now Ubuntu is at the top of the list in popularity right now (and I don't see why you would want anything else), but it is a great resource for what you are doing.

Welcome to Ubuntu! Enjoy your stay!

I am sure it will be your main OS soon. Ubuntu is by far the best desktop distribution i know right know. And it is improving all the time.

Holy sh**! The Search function and the Ubuntuguides! Never would have thought of that myself. :rolleyes:
I know, i know. There are a lot people out there who don´t use search or read any guides and manuals (friend of mine worked at a hotline, you don´t believe how many problems have been solved by the simple question "Is the power cord plugged in?").
Nevertheless it is somewhat symptomatic for Linux forums, that the most common answer to a question from a newbie is "Use the search function". Or when u ask something "simple" (maybe "How can i install a clock on the desktop") you get links to sites explaining everything and too much but not what u asked ( the theory of space and time, time travelling, the history of the desktop, programming a calender with the correct timezones for all known planets in the galaxy, etc)

Enjoy man. I've got Suse 9.3 on my notebook until I get my father in laws up and running properly so I can test it, because it's what he likes and I need to troubleshoot, but I can't wwait to get back to ubuntu. Enjoy.

I hope you didn't get really offended by my previous sarcastic joke..

[Drufuss]

No, i just have to get used to using those smilies or improve my english so that everyone knows when i try to use sarcasm.

He, wait, was that ment to be sarcastic too? :confused:

Seriously, i don´t take anything serious at first.
