I guess a little bio first. I started on a TRS-80 using basic then moved up to windows and learned how to keep my hair in while using windows (which has been hard to do so far) LOL I started on windows 3.x then when xp came out I tried Knoppix, Red Hat and used Mandriva for a few weeks but had a lot of hardware issues and I was a linux newbie. So along came vista and with vista came great hair loss. I am happy to report though since switching to Ubuntu my hair is comming back now The thing I love about it is 'it just works' no errors, no conflicts just great fast computing. I'm working on gettin a few people I know at least just to try Ubuntu and so far they like it. So horray for Ubuntu. Hope I can contribute something here though I am a newbie I have learned a lot about how to make the move over to linux from windows. Well so much for the 'little' bio lol Hope all that read this have a great day....
@mickey46834: Hello! I myself started with an old Epson QX-10 ( w/ mbasic ), moved up from CP/M to DOS to Windows and finally to Linux. I was also getting pretty annoyed and cynical about the direction computing was taking until I crossed over to the light side. Though I've been lucky enough not to use Vista. And good job spreading the word, that's one of the most important contributions any of us can make. Welcome aboard!
