How Long Have You Been a Linux User?
On May 21st, 2008 Rich (not verified) says:
Been using Ubuntu since November 2007 and I'll never go back to MS as long as this distro or equivalent is available. Only ever used MS (yes, a 'point and click idiot') but I've never been happy with it for lots of reasons. First tried Xandros 4/5 years ago but availability of equivalent apps was a sticking point. Last year decided to build my own pc and was determined not to put Windows on it. Found Mr Shuttleworth's great OS and have not looked back. Still finding my feet with the terminal/command line. Forums etc are real help. I just can't get over the incredible input of so many people to bring open source software to the world. People like me owe them so much. Thank you to everyone that contributes!
