    Hiya!

    Before I start pestering the more knowledgeable people around here with questions they've answered until their fingers bled, it seems like a good idea to let you know whom they're dealing with: another Linux n00b.

    After having used only Windows since ... well, forever (3.1 is the oldest Windows I remember using), I decided to give Linux a try in late 2009. At first I was overwhelmed and even quite intimidated by the sheer number of different distros (and I actually still am), so I decided to start out with Ubuntu since it seemed the easiest one to get used to. And I must say that I really, really like Ubuntu. Much to my shame I have to admit that I didn't really learn much about the "under the hood" workings of Linux since I'm pretty much just a plain user.

    This is something I decided to change, which is the reason why I'm here. So, please, bear with me. I'm willing to learn, but sometimes a bit thick when I need to wrap my head around new concepts. Old dogs and new tricks, you know.

    Cheers!
