    Re: Where do you guys come from? Or why is this place special?

    Like many others here, i have no special skills with computers, i started out with a Commodore Plus Four, then (keeping with Commodore) got an Amiga A500, then an A4000 -- which, blasting along at 25Mhz (thanks to the 68000 chip and a graphics co-pro) left everything in its wake. It even had 2Mb of chip (graphics) ram and a 1Gb hard drive.
    I thought i'd never fill that, even with Lightwave 3D ray-traced animations. 8)

    Working in an internet café i had to be a bit Microsoft-savvy, so got a computer with Win 98 on it, then upgraded to 2000, then XP. My Microsoft experience ended there.

    With Linux, i first tried Knoppix, then Red Hat, then Debian, then stumbled across Kubuntu.... and i'm still here .... although i dip my toes into other OS waters occasionally i'll stick with Kubuntu.
