Sounds intresting! Hope to become as involved!
I'm very new to this. Working through it.

Hello jeremy, thanks for this forum! I am a totally new to Linux, but I signed up to see what I could learn from my "elders"
Today I'm on to search the forums for anybody that has booted Linux from a usb (to see if they were as chicken as me at first and to see if they have any tips)
I like to learn from OPM (other people's mistakes), it keeps me from making too many of my own - I hope
Thank you again!

So tell us Jeremy, what made you decide to start this forum?

I started LinuxQuestions.org as a way to give something back to the Linux community. I had been using Linux for a while at that point and wanted to offer help to existing and potential Linux users. In the 14 years since then, LQ has grown far beyond what I ever imagined it would.

Better late than never?

First of all, I would like to congratulate Jeremy and his crew, for his/their achievement/s. Wonderful!

BTW - my 2nd-last desktop wallpaper with Windows 7 featured a bemused Tux sitting behind a broken window, reflecting that Windows is busted.

I burnt my bridges some weeks ago, nuking Windows in favour of a totally Linux environment (Trusty Tahr), and have not looked back!

However you asked for feedback:

"Introduction to Linux - A hands-on guide". I can get no further in the process without revealing my phone number, and I don't do that. I realise it may be a valued sponsor to your site, so I am not complaining. I will use the expertise of site members to answer my questions.

Good luck, and best wishes with the next 14 years!

Same here. Every single word seconded .

As this is a third party offer, it's not something we have any control over. I realize some members may not be comfortable giving out personal information, however, and although it means we lose out on the sponsorship portion, the PDF is available elsewhere using a quick search (http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/intro-linux.pdf).

Much appreciated!

Thank you Jeremy for establishing this forum and helping to make it possible for people like me to set up a networked home media server/clients DIY on a very low budget using castoff and home-built machines while learning more about the hardware and software involved.

I received cheerful advice here (bootinfo script) that helped me to troubleshoot a difficult GPT booting problem on old hardware. Canonical is distribution-specific yet the solution came from here not there. Maybe a distribution-independent forum is actually better.

I also learned that I can upgrade the graphics adapters in the clients to get the latest HD codecs in hardware rather than buying higher-powered machines capable of software decoding (I was previously unaware that the latest hardware codecs are now supported in Linux). So I also got help with hardware selection on a completely different topic at the same time.

All around Linux is the best solution for me and linuxquestions is part of the reason why. Thanks again Jeremy! <3 XOXO

congratulations on 14 years

All set and ready to start my journey here.
Hope to learn and discuss a lot with you guys.

Jeremy-san,

I am still learning and there&s more to come.
Having LQ as my mentor, the source for knowledge, I am very pleased to congrats 14th anniversary!

If you need help around Japanese, let me know.

Thanks for your creative job!
Good luck

Congratulations Jeremy! and Thank you

If it wasn't for LQ, I would never have discovered the awesomeness of Slackware and the community around it.
That's the single best reason for me to stick to LQ if anything else.

Congratulations Jeremy-the root and all the mods, members and aliens. May the force be with you!

Regards.
