[HLUG] Hello

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,

I would seriously dump Linspire and switch to Ubuntu, as it is a lot more
friendly and has better support than Linspire - you can download free
packages, and not have to pay for the packages from the Click and Run
warehouse.

Andrew.

Subject: [HLUG] Hello

  Hi this is just a quick introduction as i have recently joined the mailing
list.
 
 I'm a total noob with linux atm so i have installed noobie linux (Linspire)
onto an old desktop that i'm sharing with my windows comp using a KVM
switch. So far the system seems to be running well except for the printer
(Lexmark P4250) as i am unable to locate a driver for it.
 
 I live in hereford and will try to attend the monthly meetings (shifts at
work pending) as i am keen to learn more about Linux. I have several other
distros on disk that i will try (redhat, suse etc) when im more familiar
with it, although for now this will remain a hobby on my spare comp as i
enjoy my online games (wow, eq etc) to give up windows just yet :p
 
 Hope to see ya soon...
 
 Mark.
