| = Whois Bodsda = I am 16 years old and currently going through my GCSE's so my time has been limited a little more then usual. I first started using Ubuntu in January of 2008, this was also my first Linux os. I have since taught myself, with the help of the com docs, irc and forums how to cope with everyday life on Ubuntu. I started with gutsy which i also introduced to my Dad. I then upgraded to Hardy Beta in March. |
= Who is Bodsda = I am a 17 year old computer enthusiast from the UK. I first started using Ubuntu in December of 2007, this was also my first Linux OS. I have since taught myself; with the help of the community documentation, IRC and forums, how to cope with everyday life on Ubuntu. I have also switched form GNOME to fluxbox just for fun and am enjoying it so much I don't think I'm going to go back. Since migrating to Ubuntu I have started to learn python and C++ programming languages and plan to release a program to the community some time this month (4/6/09). |
