1. When were you first introduced to linux?
Us old times have a hard time with either short/long term memory. Must of been 97'ish when I bought a retail version of Redhat 7.3 from CompUSA... Met a local tech guy (read had his own repair shop) who introduced me to MIRC and the local LUG.
2. What was the first distro you used?
See anwser #1
3. What attracted you to ubuntu?
Distrowatch specifically... and the hoopla that was around on slashdot, dig and a few ezines I was subscribed to.
4. Why do you use it today?
1- Ease of use.
2- This community!
3- It just works! Even the glitches I do run into (which have not been many), with a few keystokes on Google or searching the forum, I can find the resolution to the problem at hand.
4- Just tired of using MIcrosoft products that are bloated and buggy... not to mention vunerable. Really, where else do you have to pay for updates (errr, I mean upgrades).
5. How old are you (to see the age of ubuntu users)?
If you tell anyone, I'll be miffed to no end! Old as dirt, I am... ummm 42
... in myself i am nothing exactly no thing i am only a mirror in which others see aspects of themselves and attribute the resulting concepts to me but i am also an other to my self
