You all probably know the guy who decided to go Linux in hopes of escaping the bonds of an overly restrictive OS in Windows Enter-Your-Crappy-Version-Here.
I am absolutely THAT guy.

Sorry for the delay...

Since swapping out my Vista HP for Ubuntu Hardy, I've enjoyed computing like I used to when I was a kid. Never before have I been happier than now to see the command prompt! Counting only a few hardware issues I have yet to resolve, I can see no good reason to ever again spend a C-note on an operating system when that same money can go for a much more rewarding hardware upgrade.
About me; name is Bob Dye, age 29, location Eagle River, Wisconsin USA, occupation Carpenter, married with one son(born yesterday WOO-HOO!)....and incredibly stoked to be here!

Welcome to Linuxforums, Bob. And congratulations on the new little man!
Excellent! Now you'll have something to focus on between all the didey changes and 3am feedings.Since swapping out my Vista HP for Ubuntu Hardy, I've enjoyed computing like I used to when I was a kid. Never before have I been happier than now to see the command prompt!
Ah, but it's a splendid torture you endure.
Look forward to seeing you around the boards.

Oh Man. Poor kid doesn't have a chance! The day after he's born you are posting on a Linux forum. He's going to be a geek

...not so well, I'm afraid, but then again I expected that! Daddy is a geek in the hardcore, and I'm sure that little Harry will be too, since I.T. is so much more interlaced than it was when I grew up. With any luck, he'll have the skill sets to tear down and rebuild an x86 blindfolded by the time he's 5!!!
