From where in Ohio do you hail?

I thought it might be nice to see what places our members call home. I'm from Conneaut which is the extreme northeast corner (aka Ohio's sharpest corner) of the state.

What are the snowfall projections for you all this year? I lived in buffalo for a couple years, I never had been scared of snow before (or since)

Brooklyn, Ohio. An Inner ring suburb of Cleveland.

I'm not sure what the snowfall forecast is this year. But Cleveland winters are kinda harsh. Thanks to the great lake up here, we got lots more snow then the rest of Ohio. I'm personally not in the "Snow Belt" toward eastern cleveland, but I still get a fair share of it :(

Vorian said: What are the snowfall projections for you all this year? I lived in buffalo for a couple years, I never had been scared of snow before (or since)

I am not sure if we are supposed to get slammed this year or not. Conneaut is in the snow belt and since I work in Painesville, I get to drive a bulk of the length of it each year.:frown:

I'm in Bedford, southeast of Cleveland :D ...although I moved most recently from Akron and my family has roots all over NE Ohio. For others in my quadrant of the state, I'm hoping we can do something similar to the Columbus LoCo in the future: a NEO LoCo, perhaps? ...of course, concentrating on a state-wide effort should be the first priority :cool:

I am from Grove City, a suburb of Columbus.

Hi Guys/Gals...North Canton is where I dwell. Happy Holidays to all.

I reside in Rittman, OH. It is a very small town near Wadsworth, Medina, Barberton. Old farming community in which very few farmers live anymore so basically it is a struggling community that as of last week does not even have a grocery store. I have been using Ubuntu for about a year now.

I run Ubuntu 6.06 and VMWare with Windows 2000 Professional as a guest OS. I do this ONLY because I am an insurance agent and my business is all done online and utilizes extensive ActiveX Scripting which Linux obviously does not process very well.

I am not a pro with Ubuntu so I don't know what I might could contribute but I want to learn more.

I'm also living in Toledo. Moved here back in 2004 to work on my Ph.D at the University of Toledo.

JustDon, I was born and raised in Wadsworth. I am 41 years old. I do not know how old you are, but when I was young we did most of our shopping in Rittman. They had a Krogers and a department store called Conley's in a small mall on Sunset. I knew Conley's had been gone for many years, but they no longer have a grocery store!? That stinks! I used to get my hair cut by a fellow on the main street hill by a small diner downtown.

The Rittman Athletics and Reds were a part of our Little League system. I played for the Wadworth Indians. I had a fellow who worked for me at B&C in Baberton who turned out to be the left handed pitcher for the A's who picked us all off first base with the most awesome move I'd (n)ever seen! :-)

It's a mighty small world isn't it?!

I used to live in Mansfield a bit over a decade ago... Now I've migrated to the Dayton area.

Greetings!

I'm from Dent, aka the West Side of Cincinnati.

Hey, folks. New guy here. I'm from the Western suburbs of Cleveland.

I am from Delaware county in central Ohio nestled between the big burgs of Delaware and Marysville.

Cincinnati (Colerain Twp.), but I go to school in northern KY.

I am originally from Ashville, about 20 miles south of Columbus, in Pickaway County. Google map!

I go to school at Miami University in Oxford, which is in Butler County. Google map!

I'm originally from Florida (Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, Casselberry, and Longwood). However about three years ago I moved up to NE Ohio to Niles, near Warren (or if you're not from the Trumbull County area, it's not too far from Youngstown).

Then moved over to Defiance, OH, over on the other side of Ohio, where I go to Defiance College for Computer Forensics (only a Freshman right now). Some pretty fun stuff soon though ;)

I'm not actually part of the Ohio LoCo team, but am looking at more information for it, but I am the resident computer geek in my dorm and have already installed Ubuntu onto two friends computers. I'm the official tech support of the dorm so I figured I might as well support something I use more often myself :)

How long of a commute is that? I live in Warren and also work in Cleveland (Mayfield Heights), so it's a little over an hour each way. I pray for winters like the one we're currently having :).

My map shows it to be 58 miles one way. A bit of a commute, but maybe not as far as Warren.

feign said: Live in Ashtabula, work in Cleveland.

Thats a bit more than mine Conneaut to Painesville. Now if memory serves, that makes 3 in Ashtabula county. :mrgreen:

steven8 said: My map shows it to be 58 miles one way. A bit of a commute, but maybe not as far as Warren.

It's about the same then. My round trip averages 110 miles.

I live in Cambridge, OH. East central part of the state, where I77 and I70 cross. Closest person to me is the fellow from Tuscarawas, about 30 miles from me.

I'm also studying for my HAM exam. My father's into it (he's W8RLA and makes extensive use of the Parkersburg, WV repeater) and while he teaches me HAM stuff I teach him Linux stuff. Haven't yet gotten him his own Linux install but that's coming soon.

I live in Marion, 20 miles north of Delaware and another 20 north of Columbus. Home and final resting place of Warren G. Harding, the President that makes Bush look like a great guy!

I am originally from Beavercreek (just east of Dayton), I attend UD, and right now I am co-opping at Marathon in Findlay. Ohio rocks!

Hello,

I just signed up for the Ohio Team, as well as the Ubuntu-Women and Kubuntu groups ... I'm located in the east Akron [Lakemore] area. The Ohio Education group sounds very interesting to me. I've spent the last two weeks reacquainting myself with linux in general, and with Kubuntu/Ichthux specifically.

When Vista came out, I decided to migrate [back] to Linux permanently. The only reason I went back to 'doze was to keep my skill level up in order to support my customers. I went looking for a Linux solution that I could offer to my customers as a viable alternative to 'doze. Ubuntu appears to be that solution.

Looking forward to getting to know the rest of the Ohio members.

What do you mean by 'Is that the source of your murders?' ? If you mean biased based on the past, no. I have just been, unfortunately, watching the news lately. I usually don't because of thats pretty much all you hear about.

I think he meant are the murders today largely due to organized crime, like in the past, or just a high murder rate in general.

TheIdiotThatIsMe said: I think he meant are the murders today largely due to organized crime, like in the past, or just a high murder rate in general.

Oh, I don't think organized crime makes up much of any crime today. Most of it is probably just the typical 'I have a problem with x john doe' which eventually spurs a driveby or simply walking into a house and shooting, arsen, etc. Some of it may have to do with drugs, but I am not certain. But yes, there was a lot of organized crime in the past, but pretty much all the old crime bosses are either dead or in jail at this point, and I don't think it makes up much of the problem any more.

I am a geek. If any of you are Amatuer Radio operators I can be found on the WB8SMC 147.135 repeater, echolink node code is 43988

My call is N8PPZ

I'm hailing from Columbus, OH... what is "hailing" exactly anyways? Does that mean where you hail a cab? or is it where you come down from the sky in little ice pieces? I dunno. Anyhow, i'm from Columbus. Just intalled my first Ubuntu setup this month, so far so good. It is having trouble opening graphics though, wants to freeze up. I know this isn't the place for troubleshooting, so if you see me on #ubunu-ohio maybe we can talk about it.

I'm in Pomeroy, on the great OHIO River (which is funny since WV own's most of it! :) ) just South of Ohio University in Athens. This is truly Southeastern Ohio. :lolflag:

Brand Spanking new to Ubuntu. I had and old hard drive that i riped out of an a computer and put in my new one. I'm running Ubuntu on it (since Ubuntu is smaller) and Win Xp on the hard drive that came with my computer. I'm keeping the XP around for the wife and for while i learn Linux.

Living up in the Akron area, go NE Ohio!!!

I used to live in Gallipolis ;) (not for very long though)

Gahanna, OH is where I reside currently.

Hi to all. Well I finally dug into Ubuntu. First looked at 5.04 and now digging in and trying to learn a little. I live in Columbus, Stop by some time. (I could use the help).

i already posted saying i was in Port Clinton, i just figured since my town goes from ~6,000 people to the ~20000 people i see clogging up my streets ( damn tourists ) how many of you are enjoying the nice fishing in my area!

I live in Middletown, OH. I have a Frankiln address but its consitered Middletown.

So boring here!

Oh

Hi all, Live here in Loudonville near Ashland and not far from Mansfield or Wooster far that matter. I commute to Canton 5-6 days a week (100 mile round trip) for work at the local steel mill. I ran linux for years off and on since Redhat 5.2 before installations where this easy. Mainly run WinXP on 3 PC's and now Linux again on an 80Gig drive on one of my Win PC's. Always loved Linux but most of my work have been on Windows platform since Dos 6 and Windows 3.1 (go figure) and there's lots of work repairing and updating Windows trust me as some of you may know.

Nice to see so many on the Ohio Team and some previous places I've lived in Ohio are Dover, New Phila, Strasburg, Bolivar, Mineral City.

Sorry for the rant and nice to meet you all.

Formerly from Gallipolis, then Athens, then I started moving all over the country. I miss Ohio sometimes, as odd as that sounds. Some places in the country are weird.

I agree I lived in Kentucky for almost a year and it was completely different than living in Ohio.

Cincinnati checking in!

Greetings from Bowling Green. I'm currently a student, and I had my introduction to linux through Ubuntu back in the Warty days (a nice website does a lot for me). I played around with Ubuntu a bit on my old HP laptop, but then I got a Mac for the killer app Keynote. Now that I have VMWare I can safely toy around with Ubuntu again without frying my MacBook.

I guess it's time to put a search in for other people from Bowling Green. I didn't bother to read the whole thread....

My daughter and I, Lilith17, both hail from Springfield, between Dayton and Columbus. We are new to Ubuntu and Linux, found Ubuntu about 4 months ago now, and already love it. We went to OLF and that just made it all the better, seeing the community of people. We felt very comfortable there, which surprised us, and had to become a part of it. Keep up the great work guys and see you at the release.

Hi all!

I live in Columbus, less than a mile East of the Ohio State University (currently a student there majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering).

I have been using Ubuntu for several months now. I had some previous Linux experience, as I ran Gentoo around 2000. Then, the Gentoo installation on my computer went funny, and I couldn't fix it, so I went back to windoze for a while.

When I started using Ubuntu, and showing it off, my family took to it, so now I got both my mother and my sister on Ubuntu as well as a friend, and they're just loving it. I work for a Center as a student worker at OSU and currently I'm trying to get that shop to "take the plunge" to Ubuntu. Wish me luck. There seems to be an attitude against Open Source at OSU which really disappoints me - I mean, I thought Universities were supposed to SUPPORT things like Open Source, not avoid them!

I went to OLF finally (been meaning to go for years, it just always landed on an awkward weekend). It was sweet. I was so glad to see all those people with interests like my own, and to talk with them and learn new things.

@Vorian: if I have the right person (apologies if I don't) you ran the "Ubuntu for Beginners" presentation. Thanks for that! My mother and I were there and it really helped her start to learn the system well. I am very excited about Gutsy, I can't wait for its realease. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the release party. Still having trouble with saying "oo-b-oo-nt-oo" and not "oo-bun-t-oo" but I'll work on it! Thank you for letting me know about the Ohio LoCo team! I didn't know it existed before that presentation. Also thanks for all your other posts on the forums! I've used your advice many a times! :KS

@ Lyceum: What's Up? My parents live in Westerville, and I did too until about a month and a half ago. Sweet place. My alma matter is there - Westerville South High School. Did you go there? I may know you (or not). Glad to hear that Ubuntu is used in Westerville as well! :cool:

Alright, that ends my rant! Greetings all! ):P

Hey,

I'm a first year at Miami in Oxford, majoring in Computer Engineering, I'm from Cincinnati. I just jumped back into Linux once I heard 7.10 was coming. I've been on and off it for the past 2 years... I got a new computer about 6 months ago so the one I had been dual booting I no longer have access to (its at home and only has XP now), I thought it was a good time to try Ubuntu again and it's better than ever.

Anyway, Ubuntu is now my main operating system and I'm loving it.

Can't wait to do more with it.

-Ben

P.S. I still say OO-BUN-TOO

Hello,

I am fairly new to the scene of Ubuntu series, but to say i live in Bowling Green Ohio. anybody interested on chatting about linux stuff let me know. here is my email [email]kroynos@yahoo.com[/email]

thanks, kroynos

good ole fostoria

East side of Cleveland (but NOT East Cleveland) here, a stone's throw from the Euclid border.

Been using Ubuntu exclusively for about 5 months, having started with a Wubi install that I promoted to a full partition-based install, and then updated to 7.10 (sort of -- the upgrade hasn't gone completely smoothly).

It's been a great ride so far, and I'm looking forward to telling M$ where they can stick their OS. Is it too early to start making plans for OLF '08? I'd love to add it to my 'con schedule, esp. since I already get to Columbus for Marcon & Origins...

Im in bedford ohio!!!!

Hey All!

I happen to currently reside in one of the more boring corners of Ohio, Gallipolis. Luckily that will be changing in June of '08.

I found Ubuntu through Popular Mechanics about two weeks ago. I managed to find the time right before finals to install it earlier this week on my $100 Thinkpad A30. (After doubling it's monetary value by adding 10x more RAM.)

No, I have no idea how to pronounce Ubuntu, by the way.

I've already managed to mess my system up and for a while I was really concerned that it was a hardware breakdown, not a software oops. So I asked my local repair shop to take a peek to see if they could tell me if there was a mechanical error. Of course, two hours after they closed on Friday, I find the work around for the Ubuntu bug. At least it is on a laptop I do not yet rely on.

I'm having fun with Linux so far. I have found that I like Ubuntu for most things because it is easier on the eyes, and Puppy Linux if I need it up right this second.

Week 1 comes to a close with my laptop in the shop over the weekend for no reason. Not the raving success of "it just works" but not a complete flop to make me turn away from Linux. At least the inspection is free for the hardware.

I am still processing how to read the bug fixes and the jargon. I am sometimes unsure if I am reading a command prompt to be typed in, or a series of windows to navigate.

If anyone would like to help/chat/get to know the Ohio newbie, feel free to send me a note.

Leo §.

Correct pronunciation, I believe, is "oo-boon-too", although I've also heard "oo-bun-too" and even "oo-bahn-too".

Wikkipedia says 'oo-BOON-too'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28Linux_distribution%29

As long as we are just typing, I don't think it matters ;)

I've just recently started pronouncing it correctly.. "oo-BOON-too"

I used to pronounce it "Ya-bun-too" which sounds better IMO, meh.

I am from Coldwater, OH home of the 2005 and 2007 high school football state champs but hometown is Willshire, OH

I'm the new guy from Columbus.

Been using Ubuntu (& Kubuntu & Edubuntu, depending on what computer I'm at) rather regularly the last several months Unfortunately, gotta do the dual boot method for my laptop as Windows is required for school.

Just starting out the CIT program in Software Development at Columbus State... I've been concentrating on much more graphical areas for several years now, so hopefully all goes well with this -- it's been about 10 years since I've actively done programming and that was basic on an Apple IIe.

The small village of Trinway!

I hail from Ravenna, Ohio but currently live in Milton Township (Lake Milton). I have been pretty active with Ubuntu for a couple of years now. Don't really know why I haven't checked out this Loco Team sooner. At any rate, I just joined the Marketing Team and I am still trying to figure out how to get started with doing something -- anything in it. I checked out the Wiki page and the Launchpad page, and am in Freenode (ubuntu-marketing). Just need to figure out how to get involved with a project.

Mt Perry OH. Been using Ubuntu for about a year. I have converted almost 30 people to Ubuntu in that time. However most of my converts are from other parts of the country. I sell hatching eggs in online auctions. I send everyone a copy of Ubuntu. I have given support on the installations by using the forums here. I recently gave copies to a friend of mines daughter to take to her computer lab teacher. The teacher decided to make them part of the class. They each had to build a computer and install Ubuntu on it. She loved the experience and now uses Ubuntu on her home computer. Do you think that there is a list of the schools with computer labs in this state? We should find a way to get copies to all of them!

Westside of cincinnati here, and I'm REALLY new to linux, only been using linux since november, and started off on debian, then switched to ubuntu about a month ago (fell victum to the deaded "He who cannot configure debian" problem). I've lived all over the cincinnati area, but grew up here on the west side (just a stones throw away from I-74, anyone else here about the train wreck there on may 20th?), also lived in milford (where i learned how to drive actually), and in price hill for a couple years. I got curios about a loco for the area about an hour ago and promptly moved into the IRC and joined the forum about 10 minutes ago.

I am using a crossover cable on my mom's windows desktop. I can connect on my laptop but I ain't receive any packets, got any ideas?

I'm assuming you have DHCP set up on the Ubuntu box, right?

Sometimes a simple sudo ifconfig eth0 down ; sudo ifconfig eth0 up solves the problem.

Ah. Good luck then, modems on Linux are a notorious headache generator, unless you're using a serial modem or hardware based modem. If you've got a winmodem, I suggest you give up and buy a real modem. It'll set you back a good bit but it's terribly worth it.

a serial modem will cost about $10, then there's no problems with using it in linux (assuming you have a pc with a serial port, they're becoming hard to find).

Oh yeah, in order to use the modem you get you will likely want to download gnome-ppp, a very good modem frontend utility for Gnome.

I live west of Celina and north of Coldwater. I was surprised to see anybody in my area. I've only ran into one other person in this area who had even heard of Ubuntu.

I have been using Ubuntu for about one and a half years. I started using it to learn more about Linux systems and because I was fed up with MS! I purchased a Dell 1505n with Feisty installed, upgraded to Gutsy with no problems. Then I hit Hardy and my wireless wouldn't work! I went back to Gutsy because I couldn't get any of the workarounds on the forums to work. I tried running Intrepid from the CD and the wireless connection was very iffy. Anyhow, I love Ubuntu!

Hooray! Someone from my area! :D

I'm from Ashtabua/Cincinnati. Home is still Ashtabula, but going to school down in Cincy right now. Names Andrew. Just joined up but looking forward to getting into this a little bit more. I've run Ubuntu since 6.04 on my laptop, with switching to solely Ubuntu at 7.04. Been running 9.04 on my desktop since it's conception and am now running UNR on my netbook. I've been helping out one of the research groups here at UC with getting their machines up with Ubuntu for data crunching.

I am located in London Ohio... Sleepy quiet farm town that hasn't changed much in the last 50 years.:KS. London is 20 minutes west of Columbus off I-70W.

I'm from Frankfort,OH.

Youngstown/Boardman.

I started out in Conneaut, but it's a 1 horse town, so I rode it out of there.

Mansfield. I'm also a student at DeVry in Columbus for Electronics Engineering. I'm loving this snow. Especially since I have one class and it is online. I won't have to drive to Columbus for 2 months. :):popcorn:

I'm in Cleveland OH. I got started using Ubuntu when I got my first computer, a HP Pavilion, and I didn't want to use the Windows XP install that was on there (I picked that old workhorse off the curb - I wasn't about to let a computer go to waste!), so I convinced dad to install Fedora on it. About a year or two later, I got fed up with Fedora and installed Ubuntu 9.04 on it. Since then, I haven't used any other OS as my main OS, and I've helped several people convert from Windows to Ubuntu.

I am from Hamilton, OH it is near Cincinnati. Hoping to be allowed onto the team.

Originally from Buffalo, New york. But residing in Wellington, Ohio right now.

Welcome to the crowd!

My name is David, I am from Amelia, Ohio. Just about 10 minutes from Downtown Cincinnati! I would love to be a part of the group!

Columbus, OH - How do we join the mailing list?

I'm in Wickliffe, which is on the east side of Cleveland.

London, rural route, Mad(ison) county. Been using Ubuntu for a couple years. Our only system. Other than Ultimate Edition which is based on Ubuntu but not official Ubuntu. Been working with 11.10 on my dual boot. Good to be Ohio. Have a few Linux users in our small town.
