Hi all, thought I'd post a quick intro and say hi.
I'm not a young gun compared to many of you out there. I dont work in the computer field either, but in the operating room of a level 1 trauma center/county hospital as a surgical technologist.
That said, I'm pretty new to Linux and even newer Ultimate Edition user. I have, over the last 2 years, attempted to run/install/learn various distros. I started back in 2001 trying to get SUSE to run on an old win95 machine. Never got the hang of it, so I bailed out. Tried a couple here and there, Knoppix, Slack, PCLos, DreamLinux, Mint- even took a stab at Lindows. Anyway, after finally trying Ubuntu and actually having a distro I could not only get to install - it almost worked flawlesly!
That's when I ran across TheeMahn and his Ultimate Edition. I installed it back in July 07 and been running ever since! I've learned a lot both in the forums and other users, but the majority of the credit goes to TheeMahn. He has tirelessly and unselfishly put together these distro's, answered questions, PM's emails etc and footed the cost of the bandwidth.
Thankfully, there are people here willing to take the knowledge and experience they have and pay it forward. Guys like CCal and Snaple who have been supplying bandwidth at amazing and insane amounts! Of course there are others, like Acowboydave, PharaoSD anjd others whom I dont really know yet- all willing to help out. If I left your nic out, forgive me, its not on purpose!
So thanks everone, and enjoy the ride!
