[Juan Pablo]

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:

Which arch should I use for my P4?

LOL

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

No laughing...

[devils casper]

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 !

Thanks!

just over 5 years since my first encounter with gnu/linux.

[the bassinvader]

Wow!! I thought you guys had been here since the dawn of time!!!

just a year forJuan Pablo!!

There's hope for me yet

[easuter]

Yeah, its about a year for me too!

My only regret was not having tried Linux earlier...

[darkrose0510]

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.

[netstrider]

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.
