Hi all,
I don't know what the 'main' forum is around here. I wanted to post this and make some new friends.
I've been using Ubuntu for almost a year straight now. I had a dual-boot set up with Kubuntu 6.10 and WinXP until recently. Then, I switched to Xubuntu 7.10 and got rid of windows all together.
I've been loving Ubuntu since I made the switch last year. I'd always played around with Linux, and I work with Linux servers, but never could totally make the jump for one reason or another. Kubuntu 6.10 was awesome, but I never could get my video drivers working, and there were always little quirks here and there.
Now I've got 7.10. I love the widgets and customizability of Xfce, and with Envy, getting the right driver was really easy. I also finally have Steam and Half Life 2 working, with a few small issues here and there that I intend to take care of sometime this week.
Also, I have Compiz running with the gnome-window-decorator, and I LOVE it. I still haven't found all the ins-and-outs of customizing it, but the plugins I have now (configured using gnome-compiz-prefs and ccsm) are really cool.
Anyways, just saying Hi, and that I absolutely love this ****. Getting my box set up exactly the way I want it, and getting the Nvidia drivers to work took about a week all told, but that's fine with me.
Is there an IRC channel you guys hang out in? A rules page or anything for the forums?
Thanks,
