Hello everyone!
I think Mandrake was the first Linux distro i ever tried (8.2 Bluebird), but due to my machine being so old-tech at the time i didn't keep it on there for more than a day or so. That taster whetted my appetite to the world beyond my Windows though, and since then i've dabbled in many flavours of Linux including Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Puppy, BLAG, Mint, Peppermint, Fedora... and now Mageia 1, and I thank you all very much for it!
Despite all the above, i'm still a slave to Windows OS, largely because i never got 'under the bonnet' with any of the distros i tried, to resolve issues such as no sound in Ardour or Rosegarden (why would audacity give me sound out, and these wouldn't?), then there was gaming, and later wi-fi issues....
...anyway here i am with Mageia running very nicely indeed on my netbook ....and with a few questions to ask (in the relevant section!).
