Hello
Greetings people.
Seeing as I'm new here I guess introductions are in order, or at least it would be the civilised thing to do before asking lots of questions.
I'm a long time user of Linux and also FreeBSD on many a server since 1996 but I started seriously with Linux as a desktop OS when Ubuntu 5.04 was released (sorry forgotten which year that was now!). It was the first distro to really get everything together and it worked really well. I promptly switched to Kubuntu when it first came out and have switched distros many times since, but eventually gave it up (as my desktopOS) because the only game I really love to play in my spare time (Empire Earth from Sierra, yes I know it's ancient but I still play it after many many years) will only run under Windows, and when Windows7 came out I was able to run all my opensource/free apps on it and my game, and quite frankly it's a really good stable OS (first time ever from Redmond) in my opinion, so dual booting seemed unnecessary and I simply dropped out. Although my personal server still runs (and always will run) a version of Linux - currently it's running Kubuntu 12.04 LTS and going extremely well thankyou very much.
I learnt recently that Steam had released their client for Linux and was extremely excited to give it a go. I got it working perfectly under Kubuntu 12.04 LTS, but then I decided I wanted to try 13.10 because it looks so pretty and ran into a video driver problem.
