Hi to all!
A brief introduction of who I am:
I have much appreciation for this on-line community and the general being-ness of all-things Linux! Thanks! About 5 years ago, I stumbled into using Ubuntu. It allowed an aged computer to operate with ease, in comparison with the Windows that had been installed. Later, that computer bit the dust. I later inherited another machine which operated only a Windows OS. It went well enough for some time, but it too gained complications. Then, I found myself in the need of a personal computer and so I acquired one newly built.
Since I had some previous experience with Ubuntu, I decided to load the then-current Natty Narwhal alongside the Windows 7. I prefer the Ubuntu.
I have recently decided to branch away from Ubuntu. I have recently played with the Bodhi distro and so far I like it's bareness. I have also made preparations to test-drive the currently available versions of Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Chakra.
In other words - I am somewhat fresh to the Linux experience. From what I have seen so far I am intrigued. Again, I wish to give some humble thanks for this community!
In other tech news, I am in the process of learning the art of script-writing / program creation. I am learning via the language Python. That experience has also been intriguing!
Otherwise - I am a father and a husband. I enjoy yoga and meditation. I am working on being better in the garden.
Thanks for your good efforts,
Derek
