<div>Hi Everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been using Linux for almost twelve years. Most of that time spent in the Slackware distribution. I started using Ubuntu a couple of years ago on desktops at work and I'm very happy with the way it has matured -- even though I'm not a Gnome fan.

<div>Like most of you, I'm sure, I've done my fair share of installations so can help out if anyone has that need. I have VMWare machines to test installs. My main machine is an Acer Aspire 5040 with a Turion 64 processor. I got this machine a few months ago and haven't yet got sound working. If anyone has solved sound on this machine, your assistance would be appreciated. I have also installed Ubuntu on some Thinkpads, Dell Latitudes and a host of desktops as well. My main area of interest is in applications using php/mysql/python/apache/css although, I enjoy building custom Linux boxes.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm based in Karen/Nairobi and can travel around the city if required to help support open source and to promote Linux in Kenya.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this becomes a very active and useful list for that purpose.</div>
