<html><body> <DIV>Greetings,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My name is Malaika Sharp. I have just joined this list but have been lurking on the Linux-chix list for a long time.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>First, I must apologize: the system that I am currently using at home is windows. However, on my laptop, which is located in my office, I have installed Ubuntu.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have been a fan of and user of Linux for about ten years. While I was working as a tech and later as a system administrator, I used Linux exclusively on my systems at work as well as at home. I have continued to use Linux on my own personal systems, but have maintained a windows environment for my husband to use.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I recently installed Ubuntu to my laptop and decided that I wanted to join a learning community.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I look forward to getting to know this group, taking courses and hopefully contributing in whatever ways that I am able and getting to know the members of the community.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Malaika</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV class=signature id=signature>-</DIV></body></html>
