Hi everyone,

My name is Chillar and its been 12yrs, 4mnths and 73 days since I last used Linux. I'm sorry, but I'm just about to start again!

So, my story is - many things took my interest when I first arrived, computers being one of the top ones. Played with a Dragon 32, was completely wrong about the BBC Micro, had to deal with Windows when I was told I needed to have a job, found there was a better way with Linux for a short newbie time, fell into Apple for easiness and now after a long time with them.....I feel it's right to be a part of the open source sharing philosophy that is Linux. Importantly for me, to be able to do that, I need to learn more, so I'm using Slackware this time around.

So I'm here as a sponge...yes a time limited sponge due to this world, but a sponge none the less.

I will be asking for help on probably many occasions, but I will also be giving my experiences or the little knowledge I gain, as I go along.

Its quite a thing this community, that I have only seen from afar and I hope to help it only positively grow.

That's it....so I would signoff in a cool way, if I could...
So I'll just...

Greetings Chillar.

Welcome to LQ.

Welcome aboard, Chillar.

The BBC Micro - still gives me a warm feeling when I hear it mentioned...

Hello and welcome to the forum but be careful though, we don't want any addictions here!

Hi chillar and welcome to LQ!

The Dragon 32 boards were OK in their time. I built the Heath Kit computer and messed around with a C64.

Hi guys and thanks for the welcomes.
Already enjoying the challenges of setting up Slackware on my old MBA and so much to learn and share

You're welcome

Regards...

.....and I'll keep an eye on my addictions
