Ubuntu-Chicago Hey

[Matthew M Angeles]

Hello fellow Chicago Ubuntu lovers,

I just signed up for the mailing list and created my lauchpad account. 
I'm really excited about having other like minded geeks to talk with.

A little about me:  I'm really new to the Ubuntu Community, I only been 
running Dapper for about two months. I started with Kubuntu and almost 
gave up. On a whim I tried Ubuntu and realized I really like gnome. I've 
been pretty successfully in my journey, being able to get the same 
usability out of Linux as I have in Windows. I have only one issue left 
and temporarily I fixed it with a $3 dollar trip to microcenter. If 
anyone knows how to get the front audio jacks working on an Antec Case 
with a Realtek 8800 audio card drop me a line.
I'm a 24 yr old college stundent studying to be a Paramedic. I'm about 
to welcome my first son into the world in about 2 weeks. I work at June 
Bar, a pretty cool Wicker Park Bar. When I'm not tweaking Ubuntu or on 
the net, I'm crashing into poles on my skateboard, reading comics, 
playing old SNES games and downloading all the shows I miss while I'm 
working or in school (The Office, My Name is Earl, Heroes & Prison 
Break). Heroes is excellent! If you haven't seen it yet and you consider 
yourself to be a geek you should be shot or at least tarred and feathered.

I am really excited about the Oct 28th meeting but was wondering if you 
can get there by public transportation or if people are carpooling.

Be Good,
