Hi Everyone, I am Chantal and also new to the mailinglist. I am a 31 year old dutch linux system administrator and I am starting up my own business in septmeber. I want to focus on opensource as a tool and non profit organisations as customers so I am very anxious to here more about your experiences Thea :). I have a website but it is in Dutch: http://www.tmcr.nl/ I recently installed ubuntu on my desktop because I want to know whether it's a usefull distro for the desktop for people who are new to linux. So far I find it very userfriendly. I would also like to contribute to the development of ubuntu but I am not sure how to go about it, I thought I'd start out by joining this list :).
