Hi! This is sort of 2 threads in one, but since the one is just informational, I think it's appropriate and related enough to be OK.

So, first off, here's some links to sites mentioning LQ that I found around:
http://www.linuxmax.net/news/00827.html (This is all about LQ joining forces with Affero)

http://www.jabentley.com/linux.html (Drew you were #5 on a search on google! Cool )

http://www.conecta.it/linux/starting.html (Cool, they call you guys experts, rightly deserved!)

Ok, so I could go on with those links for a while, but that's cool for now.

I am wondering how all of you found LQ? Were you pointed here by a current member? Did you find it from a search on google (or some other search engine) for an existing problem? Did you just happen to type in the URL, and get lucky? Did some aliens come down, beam you up to their ship, speak torphydrian to you, and finally, after many long hours of grueling tests give you a piece of paper with the LQ url on it? Or are you in an attempt to "Save the Penguin " and decided this would be a good place to start that quest?

How did you find LQ?

It's been a while, and I have the worst memory out of anybody I know. But I do believe I found it by searching for a way to install LimeWire over on www.google.com/linux. Sad as that is, I really think that's how I found LQ. I wish that I had been searching for something like how to run a streaming video sever on linux, but no, I do think it was Limey . The community seemed very friendly, and was very good at helping me out with my trivial problems (which to me weren't so trivial of course). So I decided to stay, learn everything I can, and eventually give back.

Cool

I found it while looking for answers to a question posted on Linux Coffee Talk.

I found out about it from someone on the AnandTech forums.

I found it via google/linux. I was trying to solve a problem

with google
and when i came to the site
i got a warm and fuzzy feeling so i
bookmarked it
and happy newyear to everyone

i was on linuxforums.org when someone came on the boards to say that they sucked and how lq was so much better and one could get replies much faster...i got pissed off and was one of the many people that flamed him...then i gave the link a try and never went back

I think I googled my way here.

I do believe I was bored one day and was just typing linux related names in the address bar and thought I would try linuxquestions.org and what do you know, it loaded and been here ever since. It was either that or I googled my way here, but I've stumbled across lots of sites by just typing out names in the address bar to see if they exist

Same here. It was regarding 'Wireless w/ a Netgear PCMCIA card"

I was browsing Linux-related sites and found a voting for best supoort site. LQ was nominated and I decided to find out what's that.

I was looking for help sites. I tried out linuxnewbie, but I didn't find it very useful beyond the NFHs. I typed linux questions in over at www.google.com/linux, and I find myself here. It's a great site, most of my questions are answered within a few hours.

Searching for an answer to a problem on google.

Been here ever since.

I honestly do not remember. I searched for my first post hoping that would jog my memory, but it was an answer, not a question. I guess it will always be a mystery...

I found it through google.com/linux too

A year and a half ago now I guess... trying to find out how to get the WPC11 and the PLX adapter to work with Linux. I got here through google with a general search for wireless.

Irony knows no bounds.

Cheers,
