hi John,

I'm near Berkeley Springs.  I'm in a sort of remote location and don't
get out much.  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).  Started with
version 5 awhile back when I still ran Win2k.  Got so fed up with it
(Windoze), I decided to go all Linux and went to ubuntu 8.04 LTS to
replace Win2k. Miss the applications that are available for Win32
systems, but I don't miss the operating system at all.  In fact I
downloaded a lot of Win32 ported app's, installed and ran them only to
find the same ones for Debian Linux.  And free at that since quite a
few were at a cost for the porting to Win32 when the source was
compiled for Linux at no cost to the user.

Self teaching CS on a home PC is the way I got going.  My first was a
Commodore 64 (not a PC) but what an intro to home computing.  Gaming
until exhausted.  Then doing it again.  Next was a Dell 486DX running
Win95 16 bit.  Then a 32 bit upgrade, then Win98 and an upgrade, then
Win2k.  Never went to XP and don't regret it.  I still have an MSN
Live Passport for IM on my Ubuntu system.

Anyway glad you wrote 'cause WV has a very small population of Linux
Ubuntu users as far as I know.  You are the first since I even knew
anything about such a group.

Most PC users around here are Windoase (!) users as that's usually what
one gets with a new one.  Some Mac users, but the rest are cell
phoneers.

So, anything I can help you with, scoot me an email and I'll try to
help from my few years of experience with Linux Ubuntu.

Happy Computing!

Patrick
