G'day everyone. Most of use will know me if you are apart of CodeCall so I don't think I am going to make a L--O--N--G introduction.

The main reason for me joining this forum is that I have wanted to move away from Windows for a long time but I don't know what too. I don't want to go buy a new laptop/computer to run Mac OS X properly and I have tried Ubuntu before. Problem is, I didn't know how to use it so I just uninstalled it.

I have came here to hopefully find out how to use Linux and just have it as my main OS. CC is so very helpful, so I believe that TotalPenguin will too.

Regards,
Brandon

Welcome to the light side :)

[Brandon W]

I never knew you used Linux Winged :o

[Brandon W]

Thanks Jordan, as usual ;) I hope you can help me :) Who is the username TotalPenguin?

[WingedPanther]

I've got an EEE PC 4G with the Xandros variant. I also used Redhat (7 or 8) for a solid year at work a few years back.

[Brandon W]

Oh OK Winged. What do you use know?

Thanks for that Jordan ;) How come he used the name of the forum :S

[WingedPanther]

Just the EEE PC variant. I keep thinking about installing EEEbuntu, but never seem to get around to it. Probably because I've already invested quite a bit into getting the additional programs I want installed on it.

[Brandon W]

Aren't most programs that are for Linux free?

[WingedPanther]

Most, but not all. My investment has been in time, not money, however. In particular, getting wxWidgets set up.
