Hi to all of You.
I'm 71 years old.
Retired.
I'm from SONDRIO ( Italy)
I'm new to Linux, I've used ( and still use somewhat ) Win XP Pro 10 years long.

and.......I'm not able to write English more than I'm doing.
Sorry for that!

Of course, you can!
Now I'm using FedoraCore5 on the first PC, Mandriva.10 on the second PC (an old one), and Ubuntu on the third PC, the oldest one.
As you can argue, I am only testing (for myself) and doing practice to be able to do my choice in the future, knowing what I'm using.
I like linux but I dont like to trouble, so I do not use Debian and Slackware: people says that the two of those are a bit difficult but serious.

Thanks for your interesting in my distros.

I am a 25 years old male. I live at Pune, India. I gained interest towards Linux during my Masters in Computer Applications where we had Linux in our syllabus. Now, I use Linux and not my previous love, WinXP. Everything goes fine except "quake3" and "Yahoo Messenger with voice".
