Hey,
My Names Tracy and I have just found you guys.
Hello Tracy.
I have always been interested in alternatives to Windows OS and it wasn't until I bought a PC of my own and a close friend of mine suggested I ran Linux on it that I moved in this direction. I had seen more than enough of his computer and the way it looked and felt to know that this move was for me. At this point we installed Red Hat 9. Loved this. Was fab. Then came along Fedora and we swapped to that. Again loved the way it worked and felt so all was good. Time went on... My Sys-Admin (as I refer to him now) moved to Worcester and got involved with the Malvern LUG group and I have been a silent member of their mailing list for just over a year I think.
In which case you'll fit in well around here - the ALUG lurker community seems massive. :)
I am now at the stage (ok have been for a while) where I would like to run Fedora from the Terminal window but am finding the commands difficult to structure.
If you're sans pooter right now, I'll bet Norwich Library can yield some good reading material on this - last time I was there, they had quite a few such books, IIRC.
Add to this that my pc is at the moment dead (Motherboard failure) and I am waiting for a friend of mine to dig out an old one of his so I can get up and running again. I have Fedora 5 waiting to be installed and am looking forward to this very much.
Good luck with that, and welcome.
