LinuxQuestions.org - Yet another nixnoob joins the ranks

Good day all!

Joining to take advantage of all the fantastic info here, and provide input/feedback whilst I go through setting up my home-built PC with Debian Linux Sarge, and learning everything Linux. As time, and work allows I may even pitch in and help with documentation where ever it needs it most.

Busy reading, reading, reading and more reading! :study:
Books purchased/read/using thus far:
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 and Linux Desktop Hacks.
