Hello All
« on: 8 March 2004, 21:11 »
Hello my name is Bill Ford, I am an IT Professional. I plan on playing around with Linux and I think there must be some really Intelegent people posting here that can help me.

I mainly work with Windows, but Linux sounds pretty good. I have an MSCE, CNAA, ect.

I hope you guys can help.

Hello Bill and welcome.

Yes there are people here who are very helpful and I hope you get what you need.

BUT... you will find a strong anti-MS bias, so mentioning MS certificates etc won't go down well,   ;)

Linux and Open Source isn't going away so getting familiar with it can only help you in the future.

Anyway... good luck and ignore the insults.

If you want to try out Linux without changing your hard disk in any way, I suggest Knoppix. It loads Linux from a CD!

Here's there latest ISO:
ftp://ftp.knoppix.nl/mirror/os/Linux/distr/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V3.3-2004-02-16-EN.iso

Hello Bill, welcome to the fucking forums. This place is okay, only its filled with disabled people like Laukev7, who will forever be a virgin.

I will have no problem helping j00r switch to Linux, as nobody else here has a clue about anything. Well maybe about 2 members, the rest are all retarded and tell you TRY MY DISTRO, TRY THIS DISTRO, and if you have a problem they will tell you the same.

I know everything and am better looking then most formidible man, and will help you switch to Linux with my pure badassness.

ThePreacher and me seem like the only people on this forum with a clue, refalm has half a clue, Laukev7 is okay if you like bitching about Bush, RIAA, being a virgin, etc.

Welcome to the forums.

Oh and you will never be banned, ever, here we dont ban people, because were all fucking pussys.

Well thanks for all the strong welcome. I think I will like this place, most people seem rather nice. Someone else seems rather insane.

Bill, come to erudtion

http://erudition.calyptos.com

it's better than this site because it's more than a bunch of anti-MS whinefests. you can actually talk computers or programming or what have you at Erudition.

and it doesn't have a crappy name like Microsuck

I have decided this forum has to much conflict to bother with.

I might sign up at Erudition, but I have looked at various Linux sites and discovered this place really does need some growing up.

And despite what the mess X11 created I enjoy his honesty about the people here. He is kind of right when I think about it.

Sorry people, but when some adults run the forum, I will consider coming back.
