Ken, in Austin, Texas. Relatively new to Linux. Trying to get a workable persistent install on 16GB USB that works respectably like a full desktop and almost as fast. Currently triple-booting WinXP, Mint, and OpenSUSE on an X60s Thinkpad laptop. Cheers!

Hi all, I'm Ben.

I've tried to use Linux for years and have finally found a mixture of hardware and software I think is going to work for me. Ubuntu 8.04 seems to have the features I want and works flawlessly on my Toshiba laptop.

Now I'm trying to set up a Linux file & print server for my home network.

I am Gaurav Prabhu from Mumbai, India.
Dumped M$ some 3 months ago & now plan to join Linux for lifetime.

I had tried Linux earlier but due to some problem, could never use it the way I wanted to.

A proud Linux user
Though I am posting now from windows as I am left with no space for Linux. I will be getting a new HDD just to learn linux, then onwards no intermittent Windows like now.

Hi all, I am from Chile in South America. I’m afraid, I’m maybe a bit old for your media, but my interest in computers is still alive and young.
I started programming in a decimal 2nd generation Standard Electric Lorenz computer with no compiler, nor assembler, nor screens, just a teletype to punch our machine programs on paper tapes. Then I had to embrace the IBM era with FORTRAN, assembler and COBOL, the Digital with BASIC until the microcomputers arrived. Then I had the pleasure to have a whole computer for myself. I could make some hacking in assembler with that elemental CP/M OS and some project development, first in BASIC (again), until I was introduced to C (great day, I’m still fond of C, programming C and C++).
I now am in love with open source (and Linux, of course), because at the beginning of IBM era, maybe not many remember, but we, the systems programmers had access to the Operating System source. It’s very refreshing to have back again access to the inners of the operating system source, after the long obscurantist Microsoft era. As you can see Linux is my first UNIX experience, I am still a bit puzzled with its file structure: where the applications reside, where I can find documentation, etc. Despite my long experience, in Linux and UNIX I am a newbie.

I'm in Louisville Kentucky but this place is not my home. Cleveland is but not like that is anything to be proud of.
