Hi
My name is CylnZ, call me Cy for short.
I've been using ubuntu since March of '09 and just installed Kubuntu 9.10 on my second laptop this week.
It's an Acer 5620, and so far things are great. I updated to kde 4.4 a couple days ago, and just installed 2.6.33 generic today.
I have to say the new kde and kernel are working beautifully. Havent noticed any bugaboos yet. The performance upgrades on *.33 are great, everything is much smoother, even with the issue laden intel 965 graphics, I'm having no trouble whatsoever.
I wouldnt consider myself a linux veteran by any means. I have tried most of the distros since about 1997, but it was always an "install try it, watch it implode, go back to windows" sort of thing, until last spring when everything seemed to fall together, and within a day or two I had a usable system that do normal computing things without reading for 3 hours on haw to watch a music clip, or access my network. Since then I've been learning lots and having a ton of fun. It's amazing how, even after this little amount of time, when I log into a windows system it seems so controlled and restrictive, I cant wait to get back to linux.
Anyhoo. Nice to meet you :wave:
