About Me
I have decided to use, learn and contribute to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have installed and played around with red hat, suse, knoppix, debian, fedora and several earlier releases of ubuntu. I just did not get it. But now I totally get it.
I got so fed up with updates that I had no idea what, did I want it or not. And the interruptions when I needed to get work done.
Socially
Now that we have android Motorola Cliq phone, I am so amazed by the number of handheld gadgets it is replacing -music player and radio, compass, stopwatch, pedometer, heart rate monitor, exercise logs, yoga movies, calculator, camera, video maker and player, voice recorder, gps, congress, chat, newspaper feeds, shopping cart, scanner, fax, alarm clock, tv and weather and answering machine to name a few.
In addition, I like movies, music, quilting, art, and reading.
My exercise routine includes, yoga, resistance training, cardio, and swimming. I go 3x's per week.
Professionally
I know two non-Ubuntu users which I promise to assist and support to transition to Ubuntu and join this community. Hope there will be others along the way of course.
