Introduction

Hi, and welcome to the Wiki page of Nicholas Thomas. I'm a 20/m Biology student of York University (Yorkshire, UK), who's been obsessed with computers and linux for seven years, now. I've run various distributions - SuSE, Corel, Turbo, Debian, RedHat... and broken them all ;). I first discovered Ubuntu when Hoary came out, and I've been using it ever since... first as a dual boot, but (after b0rking Windows with a mobile phone driver) standalone for about 6 months, now. I think the Ubuntu goals are admirable, and an excellent model to work towards... so I want to help as much as I can :).
