Come on, let's spend some words to introduce ourselves to the community here!

Me first! :D

I'm italian, I am a linux user from many years now.
Computers and technologies are my passion, I love and actively support the free software because I think it's one of the most beautiful expressions of what the mankind can do when it's driven by passion and common sense. :)

Mmm, what else? I play guitar when I have free time and I like it :P

Here I am.

I'm italian like Voria.
I tried for the first time linux in 2003, and but i started playing seriously with it around 2005.
I obviously love computers and my main occupation is website developing. I like security too.
I love open source and I contribute into Drupal develop process.
Bye,
Ingo86

You know this is the wrong thread for asking for help, still you are asking for it here. Why?
Really, I'm curious to know the reasons for acting like that.

Hi, I'm Stuart from the UK. I've been using Linux since the early 90's, and for several years I was a developer for Gentoo Linux. I love using Linux on servers and for development desktops, but I much prefer OS X as a general desktop :) The NC10 is the first machine I've installed Ubuntu onto, and my friends and work colleagues will tell you I haven't stopped swearing at it since.

My main blog is over at http://blog.stuartherbert.com/, but I'm currently putting together a separate blog about getting the most out of netbooks like the NC10 - cloudliving.wordpress.com.

Have to say that Voria's work with the Ubuntu packages is first rate, and I can't thank him enough for having published them.

Welcome to the forum, I'm glad to see you here!

Just for the record, I've been a Gentoo user for several years... that distro teached me a lot. :)
During the last few years I have gradually moved to binary distros, but gentoo remains one of my favourites.
So, thanks for your work as Gentoo developer. ;)

Right now, I think Ubuntu is the best distro for the NC10. Easy to setup, with an huge base of ready-to-install software. The perfect distro for a PC aimed to be always ready to use.

Last but not least, actually I can't thank you enough for your reworked nc10-scripts.
My TODO list now is one line shorter and this is a great thing! :D

Hehe - thanks, but I can't take too much credit. You'd already done the hard work in writing the scripts in the first place.

Best regards,
Stu

Gentoo on NC10 is more than a challenge, good luck ;)

HI, my name is Huston. I'm an American teaching in China and have fallen in love with Linux. I recently bought an nc10 and, in a flash of zeal, immediately discarded the pre-installed Windows OS. Since then, I've put way more time than I would like into getting everything (no, most things) to work on it. Thus, stumbling upon this forum and Voria's repo was an immense relief. Voria, you are a true hero, one to be praised unto the stars. I regret to say that I am not a programmer and thus am helpless to contribute code to your efforts, but I would like to post the occasional query, if you don't mind. I will try to find the appropriate thread to add my two cents. Thanks for the efforts of all of the contributors to linux on the nc10!
