Sure. U can call me Muyiwa. I am also a student of Computer Engineering
at Covenant University. I and a couple of guys have been discussing
reviving a blog about ubuntu that died a while ago
(http://ubuntunigeria.wordpress.com) over on nairaland. u can check it
out and/or join in on the conversation over on nairaland
(http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-11508.2304.html). you might want
to go back a few pages first so u grab d full extent of d discussion. if
you want to contribute to d blog, let me know n i'll see about making
you and anyone else on this list who is interested an editor. also, an
irc channel on irc.freenode.net was created for linux users in Nigeria
(#nglug). its very quiet most of d time but i believe that will improve
with time.
Oh and my full name is Muyiwa Iyowu

Glad to see so many new people sign up

I have been using Ubuntu since Version 4.xsomething when they used to ship out 
CD's to people. 

I tell you one thing. You guys are not going to regret it. Take your minds away 
from the windows pattern. Don't join in the comparison battle between window and 
Linux. Don't hate windows because if you -like me- are in the I.T industry, you 
work with Windows more  than any other OS.

There are a few nice apps you might want to get on your notebooks and netbooks
Get 'Cheese' - it is great for your webcam
Get 'gnome commander' it is powerful for directory copying
Get 'wine' of course so u could run a few windows apps and games
Get 'virtualbox' or of you can go through the installation work, vmplayer. you 
would be able to run 

windows inside and some other 'little' linux distros
Get 'kde' an environment that is very 'eye candy' and gives you kde applications 
too.
Get 'picasa' - you would love that for your pictures and basic photo editing, 
though you can also take a moment to learn gimp and you wouldnt regret the 
investment in time
Finally, you must add 'vlc' - it plays almost everything in the world.

Enjoy and welcome to a world of freedom
