My names Mike, I am from New Zealand. I am very new to the Linux scene. I am trying to make the move from Windows to Linux and working through it slowly. So far I am enjoying it, and finding a lot of the things I enjoy on Windows I can enjoy on here too.
I think you are seeing we are a pretty friendly bunch, but we also have a damn fine think tank of people very experienced in many aspects of Linux, to help you overcome some of the hurdles and hoops you may encounter.
I'll leave you for now before that bloke above waves his arm off.
Enjoy your Sunday in the land of the long white cloud.
