Linux Buddy

[RikD.]

Hi!

My name is Rik.
I live in holland and am curently studying to become an IT. specialist.
now i can assemble, disassemble and reassemble almost any thing from a server to a laptop, togh some times it takes some tryle and error (/me lookes at the broken parts that now decorate my walls). and i can do some prity neat things with windows. but when it comes to linux i am a total lake (i have come as far as removing the usual card games that seem to klutter every OS i have tryed so far, and installing google chrome in ubuntu 9.10).
now i have prity bad dyslexia as you might have noticed by now and thus i prefere not to read or write to much more than is nescasery as wrhiting this much has alredy taken me about one and a half hours (togh when it comes to thing like HTML, CSS and Java i have no problem what so ever becous it is very logical and straigt farword "something most whritten langiges seem to lack IMHO"). so i was hoping some one wold be able to help me lern a thing ot two about linux throgh VOIP (prefurebly Skype ).
always trying to be a litle more eficciant im gona try to hit two birds with one sotne. becouse i realy want to lern japanese it wold be great if a japanese persone (who speeks a fair bit of english) (togh im not shure thare are any japanese people on this form at all) or some one that speaks realy good japanese wold be able to help me.
oh and while im at it only female, between 16 and 20 years old and.... oh this wasnt a dating site?
ok maibe thats taking it a litle to far, but there is no shame in dreaming, right.
any way, to get to the point: if you dont have any thing better to do and feal like helping out a n00b like me learn how to speak linux and maybe japanese, feel free to respond to this post.

Rik, I wish you the best in your new career. I know a number of REALLY GREAT engineers (hardware and software) who are dyslexic, so don't let that be an excuse to fail. It may take you awhile to make a posting in the forums, but doing so will help you - written communication skills are essential in this field. We will be patient, I promise! I know, I am a crotchety old curmugeon and sometimes I get impatient with people, but understanding where you are coming from will make me take a bit more time to deal with you appropriately.

As Rubberman says. People on this forum are more laid back and unjudgemental than other forums. So Howdy and Welcome and I hope we can help.

Hi Dutchy, don't worry. If they put up with me here, then they will certainly welcome you!

I can't help you much though. I don't have Skype, I don't speak Japanese, and I recently told the kind folks here that I'm about to turn 34 so dating is off as well

But feel free to ask any and all questions you may have about Linux here on the forums, or chat a little here in the Coffee Lounge...

こんにちは。日本語は楽しいでしょう？何年間ぐらい日本語を勉強しているの？

But welcome to the forums! As others have said, there are many in our field with dyslexia, so no worries about that. Hope to see you around.
