Hi, My name is Steven Meyer, and I thought I'd introduce myself.
Hi, Steven - welcome to campus ambassadors!
I still remember the day my dad first introduced me to Linux, and my
first Distro was called Fedora (Core at the time). I remember the
strange feeling, the feeling of everything working as it should. It was
fast, with lots of free open source software, and no blue screens of death.
It took a long time with a giant pile of install floppies for me to
reach that feeling when I first was introduced to Linux, but once my
friends and I got it to work (...several weeks after we'd begun), that
feeling of free, fast functionality was pretty darn addictive.
Years later I still use Fedora, and I am attached to it. The thing
was,
at the time I really wasn't very technically inclined. I was a regular
gamer, CS and HL were great, but all I knew was the Power/Reset button
and Windows. Years later I still dont know everything, but at least Im
making an active effort to learn everything I can.
We're all learning here, so you're definitely in the right place. Welcome!
"https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Smeyer" Im working on
my wiki page
now. Don't worry if its a bit sparse!
From your userpage, I'm guessing you're in Maryland - whereabouts? I'm
in the Washington DC area this semester and would love to bike out to
unis with Fedora folks, hang out, and figure out what projects we can
drum up in the area this fall (maybe something for Software Freedom Day,
which is coming up in 2 weeks).
