Welcome everyone!

Great opportunity to introduce myself!!
I'm Gabriel and I've been using Ubuntu since the last year. I'm not a total rookie but I'm not an expert neither. Let's just say I'm walking my way through this beautiful OS and enjoying each and every step. The most important aspect that made me choose Ubuntu was its incredible community. I am an open source fanatic, music lover, and Ubuntu evangelist. I am a freelance journalist but I'm also finishing a Master in Corporate Communications, completing a Thesis about online community management. That's about all of it. I hope that I'll be able to help new users and I'm sure I will find very interesting discussions going on here.
Cheers!

Hi all! I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and this is my second attempt at learning a new system. I've gotten a lot farther this time around and really happy with it. I just haven't gotten the wireless to work yet but I'll get working eventually by reading all the posts in the wireless section. I have a cable connection right now so I can download all the packages I need and want and a very easy to use! I like the fact that its free. I have nothing against Windows except for the price and being totally reliant on them to fix problems. I hope there are native programs to run the wireless eventually but that should be save for another category. Any-hoo.
I hope to meet friends on this forum and gain new insights!

Thanks for reading!

Hello, guys!

I'm Trey, and I'm getting ready to wipe my hard drive and install Ubuntu permanently. I've "experienced" Ubuntu previously (via VM), but I've never actually got around to using it. I've heard Ubuntu can run the only commercial software I ever use on Windows (FL Studio) through Wine. Before that, that was the only reason I never wanted to commit to using Linux regularly.

I'm a generally tech-literate person, so I feel I should be able to get around Ubuntu pretty easily, but if I have any problems, I know where to come!

Hi Trey, have you thought about dual booting? dead easy i dual boot my pc's because as much as i hate to have to use msw, there are still those little things that msw's does well like support for your graphics card when using direct x intensive programs like graphics editors and games, i just burn a cd or mount the iso image then run and wubii installer does the rest!

Hi everyone, my name is Kenny. I finally got sick and tired of MS and have reformatted my laptop with Ubuntu 11.04 as of Thursday evening. Still working some bugs out but for the most part I am enjoying Ubuntu. This is a new learning experience for me since I have used MS for over 15 years actively and for over 25 years off and on. I do not have any programming experience. So I am very new to Ubuntu and may have many question that I will search for answers or post if I cannot find the answer I need.
