My life has been in computers.  I started in 1969 at the SDS computer center working around Sigma main frames.  Which evolved into repair of hardware.  I have been using Linux two years.  I can say with confidence that Vista drove me to Linux.  I started with Ubuntu and it served a purpose as my introduction to Linux.  I tried Lubuntu, then Tiny Core/Micro Core.  I have tried many others but quit using them the same day.  I found Puppy and have become a die hard Puppy fan.

A month and a half ago I found Linux Mint.  My first and only experience with Mint has been using Linux Mint Debian.  It fits all my needs.  I immediately reformated the hard drives on all my laptops and use Linux Mint Debian only from the hard drives.  Since my journey began with Linux I have been trying to convert everyone I talk to.  I spend a lot of time in front of my computers.  Linux Mint Debian is what I have been looking for.

I have worked with and owned a lot of different computers over the years.  I built the first computers I owned.  The first computer I bought only had 5k of memory.  My first experience using machine language was with an Intel 8080.  I am glad to be part of the Linux Mint Debian community.  I still feel like a newbie in regards to Linux.
