My comment was not posted and deleted...ho..wait...I was asking not to turn Ghacks in Slashdot and did not rave in hapiness...bad start considering the first article posted about how easy Linux is to install without mentioning any drawbacks or limitations.

Out of frustration I've taken the leap (by proxy) and installed Ubuntu on my (computer unsavy) brother's notebook. The last two WinXP installations lasted less than 6 months before they were crippled by spyware / adware / virus / other nastys. Searching the communities has yielded answeres to the annoyances that have come up (touchpad speed was the latest), but I've not been able to spend as much time researching "best practices" and guidelines. I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions and learning from your experience! Welcome Jack.

Our family has been using Linux exclusively (Fedora and then Ubuntu) since October 2005, and dual booting for about a year before that. What has attracted me to Ghacks was the great Firefox tips that we NOT simply repeats of everything already out there. I hope to see you post in a similar fashion about Linux: unique tips and software that are not covered in other websites. From reading other user comments here this site does not seem to be infected with the freetard Linux crowd and I personally would love to hear about both FOSS and closed source Linux applications. I am a KDE user so I hope to see some coverage of that desktop. If I may be the first to suggest an app to review, then take a look at Zim. Zim is a personal wiki, or a hierarchal notes manager. It really has changed the way I organize my life, and that was after chasing literally tens of notes managers across three operating systems. Hello Jack!

Again I want to say to send me the topics you most want to read/learn about. I am going to start with some "newbie" content and advance from there. Thank you all.

Will be really looking forward to your posts and I am now a "dual booter". I am trying to get away from Winblows totally.....except for when i want to a game. Would love to see Linux be able to do the gaming as well, but, that is a game developers problem. Again, Welcome aboard! Welcome to gHacks!!
