    Hi Folks

    Just saying hello - just joined. I'm an engineer who's done lots of embedded development, but never touched Linux till yesterday. Raked out an old (and therefore resource-limited) PC and installed KateOS onto it. So I shall no doubt be pestering you all lots in the coming weeks and months as I get to grips with developing under Linux. C, C++ and object oriented have been my thing to date, together with some low level'ish coding, but not really really low level.

    Nice to meet you!

    Hello and Welcome.
    Its good to see forum is getting crowded :P
    You reminded me the KateOS. Good for Desktops. I must try the new versions.
    Never make any misteaks.

    Thanks.

    Yes, KateOS looked a good bet for getting to grips with Linux, given it's an elderly PC I'm using it on. Had a bit of trouble sorting partitions and getting it to boot. Eventually sussed I'd pointed GRUB at the wrong partition during the install. But now it's up and running!
