Hello, My real name is Robert G. and I live in Elizabeth City, NC, USA.

How I ended up here:

Well, its a long story, so I will make is short as possible.

I found Ubuntu and Decided I wanted to install it whithin my Vista (Which I didn't know if you used disk it would install new OS) so I downloaded it and I liked it so I requested a Disk. Well, little did I know that if you boot an OS disk, it is going to clear out your Hard drive and delete anything in the way of the partitions. For one, my Vista back-up was in the Partition and 2, I had no Idea what I was doing. I booted my computer up thinking the GRUB loader was going to boot up when really, my Vista was gone and Ubuntu was the only thing on my PC. So in the end, I ended up here looking for answers. So far I am able to deal with some issues about installing Windows Programs and I tend to be a very fast learner if I have to attention span to do so. I like Linux better then windows in a lot of ways.

- No stupid "Are you sure you want to run this program?" ; Well, duh, I clicked on it.

- No Viruses!

- Un-hackable and great for hosting Game Servers.

So, thats just about it.

Your not alone in doing that Robert. I have reformatted and installed drivers, distros, you name it, I have screwed the pooch in my linux learning curve process. Welcome to the club.

... using some flavour of GNU/Linux since a little more than a year now. (I like to xperiment a bit and try out diff. distros).
The more I learn about the *nix way of doing things, the more I understand how little I really DO know!!!

However, I still need WinXP as well for my (wannabe) music creation/production thingie-ma-jingie.
Maybe one day I'll be able to do it all in Linux.

Cheers guys, and:
don't worry, be happy

I don't know if I'm the right one to say this, but I think this question should be asked in it's own thread when you can't find some thing with a web search. This question isn't in line with the thread.

Good luck finding your answer!

Hi, I'm Kurt in Vancouver, Canada, and have been using Linux since 1998. starting with Debian Slink. It didn't take me long to switch to Redhat 5.1. I 've just repeated that switch, having put Ubuntu (Hardy) onto a new box. Gnome kept freezing (shades of WIN 9, and so I overwrote it with Fedora 9 and other than the difficulty of getting something as elementary as flash to work, I'm impressed so far. Looking forward to getting to know all of you soon, Kurt
