Name's Casix, m, engineer, age 40-50, married with children.
This is - or will be, rather - my third foray into Linux after SUSE 6.X and Mandrake years back. As a full-on replacement, it didn't work for me due to pretty much all of the usual issues and I wouldn' expect it to work even today. But my secondary Laptop blew a gasket a couple of days ago and since I used it almost exclusively for surfing, netflix and E-Mail, I figured a) I don't want to spend heaps of dough on a replacement and b) this is the chance to give Linux another shot. By gaining experience without the pressure of depending on the very system, I'm training on - maybe I will manage to go all the way eventually.
Looking forward to learning from all you guys and to (hopefully) contributing myself later on.
