Hi everyone, I'm a sound designer living and working in Norwich and London (I mainly do sound-post production for films/commercials)
I've been using linux for a few years now, (since 2007 I think?) and recently I've built and maintain a server for our small company. Still consider myself a rookie but am trying to learn as much as I can during my spare time! Look forward to reading you all / meeting some of you at a local pub some day.
Hi John
Nice to hear from you. The natives are (largely) friendly. Certainly I've always found the guys here to be open and helpful. Just don't mention the MS word.....
(Atually, that's not necessarily true now. So long as there is some valid reason to raise a question - such as "how do I get this stupid proprietary system to do what I want with my linux installation" you'll be fine. :-)
Cheers
Mick

Just bought a rather nice secondhand notebook with Windows 7 Pro on it, but no CD as it is one of a corporate batch.
I was going to reformat the drive, but - comparatively speaking, of course - what's 7 Pro like?
Should I hive it off into a separate partition, or put my street-legal XP Pro into Virtual Box? I only want it to run Irfanview...
