<br>
Just found the group and decided to join the mailing list. Thought I'd<br>
do the polite thing and introduce myself!<br>
<br>
I'm a 24 year old guy living in Waterloo, Liverpool. I'm a relative<br>
newcomer to Linux having only started early this year. I actually tried<br>
to install Linux some years ago with a RedHat CD that came with a<br>
computer mag but several hours and bucketloads of tears later I gave up.<br>
<br>
Was inspired to learn more about the FOSS movement after being so blown<br>
away by the quality of some Windows software like Firefox and Open<br>
Office. I figured if the windows software was that good I should<br>
experiment with the entire OS. My first try was Ubuntu and I fell<br>
instantly and deeply in love. The installation process was nothing like<br>
my memories of RH which was definitely a plus.<br>
<br>
I've since experimented with other distros (Fedora, openSUSE, Dream) but<br>
I find that as a beginner, the wealth of information available on Ubuntu<br>
is second to none, so I'm happy with Hardy for now :)<br>
<br>
Anyhow - like I said this is just a message to say hi and I look forward<br>
to finding out more about my local linux group.<br>
<br>
Peace,<br>
<br>
