Hello, Team. I've been interested in non-Microsoft operating systems, alternative operating systems (a misnomer), for almost a decade. I've been using Ubuntu since Breezy Badger. We sure have come a long way since then, eh?

I prefer linux because I'm a hobby programmer trying to turn my hobby into a career. In the Windows world, I always felt there was an attitude of "*can't* be done".

[INDENT]You want to write code? You're going to need this software and that IDE and your grand total comes to about $1000. What? You want to change the system? Why? Well, good luck.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]You want to write code? Then, go! Do it! Open a terminal! You want to change the system? Here's the source code. Jump in![/INDENT]

I'm interested in joining the team. I don't know exactly how active I can be right away, though. I go to school full-time and work part-time. If you'll have me, I'll do what I can.

We'll have you. Pitch in where and how you see fit. Welcome Aboard!

My name is Simón and I live in Fort Wayne, though I'm from Bloomington.

I started using Ubuntu during Breezy Badger, as well; though that was my first foray into Linux. I really love that "<i>can</i> be done" attitude, it's one of the things that really drew my into Linux to begin with.

Well, I look forward to seeing you around!

Hi Jay! Remember me? Here's a hint: OpenDNS.

I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed in the highland school system, and then maybe to Griffith, Scherriville, or other places. I might do it over summer break as I'm not even in college yet...
