== 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 :). 

== Current system ==
=== Hardware ===
 * AMD64 Sempron 2500+ processor
 * 512MB DDR-333 RAM
 * nVidia GeForce FX 5500
 * AC '97 soundcard
 * D-Link DWL-G122 (b1) USB WLAN card
 * HP PSC 2355 printer

=== OS ===
Kubuntu Dapper Drake development branch: dist-upgrade from Kubuntu 5.10.

== Contributions ==
I can be found on the Ubuntu mailing lists (lurking!), and I frequent the forums as well. Maybe I'll get onto the IRC channels at some time. See below for specific contributions (I'm angling for membership ;) )
