Hello everyone, Anyweb thanks for this site, thanks for helping the noobie's such as myself.
I am retired trucker, on disability. I love computers, hate windows, beginning to really like Linux.
I have been trying many different distro's and have settled on Xandros 4, it's the only one I have been able to get working almost completely. I dumped Solaris 10, it was a horrible experience.
I first came here using Suse 10 but even with help I never got mplayer and other programs to work.
Since we live in a RV I travel some and take tons of photo's, I love gimp and digikam, super programs.
I do all this computer stuff because it keeps my brain going, but sometimes I have trouble understanding whats going on but once I see it done, I go with it.
I put a Radio Shack Personal, Coco 1,2,3, then went to the Amiga 1200, (wow that was a great computer), computer in my truck back in the 80's and been learning ever since.
I miss driving and see this great land, would have drove to Sweden and down under if they would have giving me pontoons.
