When the hardware-elements of my WinXP-HDD started to make strange noises I tried to backup the whole data. First I put the HDD to another WinXP computer but I could not backup one file at all. Becoming more and more stressed I booted from an Ubuntu-GutsyGibbon-7.10-Live-Disc. After backing up 160 Gig (Windows named it: corrupt data) by a Linux-Live-System with no problem from one HDD to a new one I decided that there would be no better time to switch. Online I did a Linux-Test (Which Linux is the best for me?). Debian was the answer of that question, because I wanna have a system which can run Mail- and Webservers and stuff like that. I installed Debian Etch and was more than happy. I still am. ''By the way: "The data is still 100% intact"'' For all my friends and people around me in Real-Life I recommend Ubuntu, because it is a fast growing, very stable and secure distribution, it brings all the programs people usually need and it just needs a few small learning-steps to get used to when coming from WinXP. All the people who switched to Gutsy by my influence are more than happy and proud to use it. === Capabilities === ---- I just have basic knowlegde in HTML, some graphics and C++. I just started with Linux, but I am learning fast. === Interests === ---- My hobbies beside computing, Internet, Chatting, Linux and so on is: * Playing the guitar * Movies * Talking on the phone * Roller-Skating * Going for a Coffee with a friend * Surely most important of all: my wonderful girlfriend, ;-) === The Project and my part in it === ---- Deciding that Ubuntu would be the best distribution for users switching to Linux, I wanna build up a LUG in Hamburg. I offer support for Newcomers, Meetings in Hamburg, Information, Material and so on. I am looking for people in Hamburg, already found some, who wanna help me give Information, CDs, Installationparties, Info-Lessons and Linux-Meetings to Newcomers. Anybody who is interested, please contact me via Email, the movement needs your support. === I want to support the Ubuntu-Project by: === ---- * Giving information about Ubuntu-Software, Ubuntu-Organisation and Open-Source in General * Passing on Material, Flyers, CDs, ... * Giving Information-Events with the help of experiences Linux-Users at the University of Hamburg * Helping inexperienced Linux-Users with problems in Hamburg in any possible way * Helping people setting up an getting to know Ubuntu on their own computer Thank you for interest by reading all those details, ;-)
