    Hi,
    Austin Roberts
    I'm from Prairie Village, KS originally and get back quite a bit, but I'm currently a Computer Science major at the University of Tulsa.
    I've been using Ubuntu for about 2 years, and Windows has been resigned to a virtual machine for about 9 months.

    If you all are having any meetings while I'm in town, I'll try to stop by.

    I'm 22 and study history at KU. I'm originally from Salina.

    I wouldn't call myself a 'computer person,' but I've played around with Linux for several years as a hobby. I have been using Ubuntu as my sole OS for about a year, and I have already converted my girlfriend and one of my roommates!

    I'm in Topeka. I've been working in Linux for about 6 years and have been using Ubuntu exclusively for about 4 months. I still have to use windows to get my flash card reader to work. I purchased a used laptop with Windows already on it so I added Ubuntu and have been using it ever since.

    My name's Brian Henry, and I'm a sophomore at Oskaloosa High School, near Lawrence. I've only just started using Ubuntu in the past few weeks and enjoying it. I'm planning on majoring in Computer Engineering in college.

    I live in Shawnee, KS and work for USPS. I fiddle around Linux as my hobby.

    I switched to Ubuntu since last summer due to Windoz XP in AMD64 system crashed. Gotten tired of Windoz's problem, I decided to switch over to Linux. I have been messing around Linux for 5 years as a newbie starting with Mandrake 9.0 and RedHat (been trying out LiveCD and tried many flavors of Linux, Ubuntu seem to be the easiest to use. I do have Mint Linux which is a Ubuntu base OS on other hard drive. But there are some bugs that I can't get few installed software working.). I am still learning but getting better on Console. My kids love Ubuntu better than Windoz becuz browser loads faster and plenty of cool games. I finally figure out how to use WINE. I Google search alot to get info.

    Kah00na, I did not have any problem getting Flash card reader working. I have HP PSC 2175 All-in-One printer and it have flash card reader on it's side. I tested and it works great. I believe it have to do with chipset issue.

    So I say Hello to everyone!
    Catty
