    pirates from South Africa

    Hi all,

    I'm from sunny South Africa, and am new to Linux, but have a good understanding of Microsoft Operating Systems. I installed Ubuntu 8.0.4 recently am really starting to enjoy it. I look forward to learning the intricacies of this OS, and hope that the members on this forum will be understanding and helpful in this venture.

    Cheers.
