LINUX

I'm not a programmer or a computer expert but I do enjoy messing about with computers. I've been using Linux as my operating system for more than 8 years now.

The Linux distribution I prefer is Debian. I've now installed Linux on four different laptops (Toshiba Satellite, Thinkpad R40e, and Thinkpad Z61M, and an HP).

For more information please see the following:
