Why am I interested in Linux? Because the penguin is cute, of course! No, the real reason is that I want to get more out of my computers than Windows can offer. As a complete newbie to all this I am still having to run Windows XP along side SUSE 8.1 but I'm rapidly loosing the need to boot into windows and I think that when I can work out WINE then I'll be kissing it goodbye for ever! Still a newbie striving for more knowledge but with that, I've just popped my cherry feeling, that I got from installing my first driver correctly! Loving the challenge of Linux along with the look, feel and smell of the penguin!
Welcome aboard out holy ship! Hope to see you at some of our meetings sometime soon.
I've not needed windows for anything more than testing websites in the somewhat broken sminty net explorer or for accessing our company database (ACT! *spit*) for quite some time now, only reason windows is still on my home machine is because there's a couple of games that I play every now and again, and the machine isn't beefy enough to run them under wine reliably :)
Cheers,
