Hello ALL

[hardwarehelp]

This is the first time I have ran Linux as my primary OS, though back in the day I did play around with Mandrake and Redhat. It has really grown on me and I do not think I will be going back to Windows, Just had to through that out there... Mint is a great OS... Well I look forward to learning more and sure ill be asking questions. Take it easy on a noob...

Thanks,
ALL

Hello dude
I'd give a cool tip as to a noob how to search in this forum to learn a lot and quickly:

if u use this forum search function and u won't find expected info, try another search engine, e.g. google but type there

site:linuxmint.com anykeyword

Example:

site:linuxmint.com "remastersys"

or

site:linuxmint.com "how to back up"

So this "site:linuxmint.com" will force the search engine to look for in this forum (or community) only

Welcome to the forum. A good many of us here use Linux as our only operating system.
