the wonderful world of Linux

[jonyo]

must say that with a quick google of linux forums, and at a quick glance seeing these messages

Help requests go here if you are new to the wonderful world of Linux and need help getting started

First of all, a very big welcome to you from all of us at LinuxForums.org!

We are very happy that you've decided to become a part of our active Linux community

LinuxForums Rules Everyone involved tries hard to keep Linux Forums(LF) free of trolls, spam, flames, etc and keep LF a positive place to discuss...

had to check in and say hello.

turns out i think that i made my first ever postings right here years ago when i finally got online with linux, a HUGE thrill at the time

luv to help new folks get going with linux and now that i have a few years under my belt, should be able to help out a few

and of course there is no end to the wonders of linux, to learn from for anyone

at least some folks look at it that way

currently distro hopping, but i think overall so far, pclos (~07-9) has been one of my favorites, but lotsa good stuff out there also

easy as possible with a focus on the OS gets my attention quick, but a positive spin to linux prob means more for me these days, along with what exactly a particular distro is about, there are some things that i will certainly not support

seems to me there is alot of nonsense out there that typically comes with linux

but, diff strokes for diff folks and of course, a big beaut with linux is an abundance of options

recently checked out vector 6 light for the first time which i liked along with pclos 2010 phoenix, both in vmware

EDIT - oops, thought i was posting in feedback and suggestions

thx, just found this also

Linux Forums - Where People Come For Linux Help

any history for noobs as to the above quoted words? as well as these? - "GNU Linux Zone"

i like the choice of "people" here, means everyone

after glancing at the rules, i like these parts also

Obviously as a publicly-accessible community we have guidelines of what is acceptable and what is not so that we remain just that - a happy, vibrant community.

no religious posts, political posts,

not sure about this part?

no cross-posting, or redirect links

I find questions often are poor and often just post a link to > "how to ask a question" then if i don't see motivation, response, involvement etc from a poster or OP, i usually tune out



in Forum Etiquette, this part jumps out

Don't be disrespectful toward other distributions or operating systems

looks like there is a focus here that appeals to me
