Hi I'm Duncan Lithgow.
I've been playing with Linux for about a year now, mostly Fedora Core. Fedora has been good for me, but is not something I would ever try and get friend or my mother to use. I'm hoping to be part of making Ubuntu a real pleasure for the desktop home users.
I have a website at: http://lithgow-schmidt.dk full of stuff, but nothing Linux related (yet)
Bye
