Hello all

[ardchoille]

My name is Ian MacGregor and I have been using Linux distros as my sole operating systems since 2001. I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One netbook and installed Linux Mint (maya). Everything worked out of the box and I had the machine setup in an hour. I'm very pleased with the maya edition of Linux Mint and look forward to socializing with the community.

Hi Ian, welcome to the Linux Mint forums Looks like you are an active contributor to multiple Linux forums, so thanks for joining these forums! I hope you enjoy your stay, and have fun with Linux Mint

Be sure also to check out the Community website (tutorials, hardware and software reviews, ideas), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding even more themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon.

You can also chat in real-time with other Linux Mint users. In the Mint Menu, in the Internet section, start the application XChat IRC. You will automatically get connected to #linuxmint-chat for general chat and #linuxmint-help for support with other Linux Mint users.

Yes, over the years I have contributed graphics, tutorials and more to several linux communities. I noticed too that a few of my themes made it into linuxmint-art.org already, nice to see that happen. Glad to be here!
