A year since I began using Linux!
My first Linux real installation was on February, 2006 with FC2.
I can't believe how much I have learned about computers and Linux in this short time!
When I found this forum my first question was:
LOLWhich arch should I use for my P4?
Now I can even add a couple of lines to the kernel sources and compile it successfully, install OpenBSD, use Portage, pkg_add, bootstrap GCC, install LFS! and sort out my problems using only documentation
I want to thank you everybody for being such a good support forum!
Thank you!

I don't think I ever helped you with anything (you always seem to be answering questions) but your welcome
Here's my first post (I think): http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/sus...sappeared.html

i think i also didn't get any chance to help you Juan Pablo.
my first question in LinuxForums was, "Is it possible to install SuSe 9.3 along with Fedora Core 5 in single harddisk?"
i have learned a lot of stuff in last 8 months. thanx to LinuxForums !
CasperIt is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Yeah, its about a year for me too!
My only regret was not having tried Linux earlier...All Empires rise and fall. The Microsoft Empire has already risen, only one way to go now...

Ooh Just over a year since I made the switch too (but dabbled a bit for a few months before that).
I think my first question was how to install a modem driver (rpm).
I then went on to install a Linux version of notepad... hadn't even looked at Kwrite/Kate, or any of the editors that were already installed; I just couldn't find 'Notepad' so had to get it installed.
hehe, gotta laugh at that now.

I have been using linux exclusively for about 4 years, and messing with it for about 8.
I joined this forum in 2004 though. My first post was about what kernel I was running.

WOW I also thought by myself... "Hmm, these guys seem to make things look so easy...oh well I guess when they started out in Linux (then I think 1998-2000) things were much harder so they've got lots of experience.
I've been tampering with Linux (constantly) from about Sept-Oct last year (2006) but never have I removed XP yet although I use it only about 1% of the time. I think I'll learn much more when I finally decide...bye bye now XP and if something doesn't work I must force myself to figure it out rather than running from the problem or changind distros.
