I love the whole idea of FOSS and want to help shape Ubuntu for the community.

After just one week of having a dual boot system I decided that Ubuntu (Karmic) was infinitely better than any Windows OS and got rid of the Windows partition completely.

=== My Machines ===

I have two physical systems a 'junker' (with Lucid Beta 1) and a 'stable' system (with Karmic). Both systems are laptops. Here are the specs:
