    Smile Hello all, I've just joined

    Hi Everyone
    Just introducing myself. I live in West Yorkshire in the UK and am a Technical Author/CAD IT Administrator. I am familiar with a little Unix but mostly expert in MS Windows from 3.11 to XP (still trying to get to grips with Vista!!). I have been toying with trying Linux for a while and have finally bitten the bullet last weekend and installed Umbunto. Excellent from what I have seen so far, except that I am having difficulty getting it to see my ADSL Router, hence no network yet.
    Definitely no doubt that the problem is my inexperience with this OS. I will persevere until I've cracked it. Thanks in advance to any forum members that may help me in the future and I look forward to being experienced enough to reciprocate soon.

    You know, an open mind is the best help you can have starting out and it looks like you have one. Often times people expect because they know Windows well that they know computers well. These in my experience are the people who give up and blame Linux. It only takes a little bit of effort and participation and that learning curve isn't so steep.

    Good luck with it

    Good attitude, Brian. Hi, and welcome to Linuxforums! If you haven't done so already, you might want to post your ADSL issue in the Ubuntu or Linux Networking forum. Be seeing you 'round.
