Hello from K0rnz

[K0rnz]

Hi,

 

My nick is K0rnz and I've only been using Linux for about 8 days now. I decided to switch over from Windows XP Pro as a new year's resolution. I do have another computer in my home that has Windows XP Pro but it belongs to my wife and I try to avoid it like the plague.

 

I initially started off with an old Redhat 8.0 CDs which I had downloaded and burned many moons ago but never got to install them. Then I installed Redhat 9.0 and was told in the #redhat EFNET IRC channel to get Fedora Core 1 which I am now running with no problems.

 

Only problems I've run into is the up2date feature fails to connect sometimes.

 

Thanks,

K0rnz
