Hello, my name is Collin (Hellow), I am 13, and I live in Georgia. I run my own website at http://hellow.aislehost.info/. I try to contribute to the Ubuntu community as much as I can, and you can learn alot about me from my website. I run Ubuntu 8.04.1 on my computer, with Compiz-Fusion and Gnome. I am learning to script for shell, most likely the easiest way to script. I have only made one script so far, its a compile script to make it easier to compile/install a program, its here: http://hellow.aislehost.info/compile_script.sh. Just put in the directory for the program you want to compile and run it. I run 3 servers, my website, a Teeworlds game server, and a Netrek game server. Well, I guess that is a good enough "About Me" paragraph. == Hellow ==
