    New to linux and linux forums =)

    I'm not sure why I waited so long, but I decided I wanted to give linux a serious try. Long time Windows user, hoping to make the switch over to linux (at least on my laptop).

    Have a feeling I'll be asking alot of first timer questions and hopefully will be able to give back in the future when I learn more about this OS.

    Hiya fev and Welcome to the forums.
    Feeling half retarded isn't a bad thing, it just means you get to learn new things. Just like when you started using computers for the first time.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.
    All new users please read this.** Forum FAQS. ** Adopt an unanswered post.

    Hello and welcome to these Forums. I think you'll enjoy using Linux and discovering more about free software.

    It is like starting from square one, isn't it? It's a different system. Different options, different ways to do things, different logic behind it. Don't worry though, it's a bit like moving to another neighborhood. All it takes is a little reading, a little looking around. Settle in and have a friendly chat with your new neighbors
