why are we here
 |
I am looking for like minded people, but somehow
this place seems to be configured wrong. Okay that last statement will offend the natives but that is not my intention.
Why are you here?

I am here to use the Linux OS on my computer.
Was Linux really called Freax originally?

Never heard that one before. Linux is a derivative of Unix written by Linus Torvalds, hence Linux. But, yes, please do tell how the site is configured poorly.

October 5, 1991 - Freax is hacked by Ari Lemke, the admin of the FTP site where Linus made his code available. The directory is named /pub/OS/Linux. v0.02 is then made available

Practically a Master Poster
I am here, because it is a good friendly community, I get to impart my lean knowledge occasionally to help someone out, and get some answers if I ever have a problem.
Actually, since I have started working on a web site, and looking into coding, this site has become much more useful. The tutorials and code snippets are really good, and I hope to do some more blogs soon, which is fun, and hopefully informative to others.
It's a large site, with a lot of members, it takes a while to find you niche, but what that will be depends on what you want from the site. Most people come here looking for answers, and then return the favour to other people, then enjoy it, so they stay.
I've only used it once, but if you want to chat, then there is the IRC Chat rooms.
What are you interested in, we'll know if we're "like-minded".

Posting Whiz in Training
I'm here because...
..."i can get som uber1337 hax wich i kno yuo guyz hav"
-Konane
...I'd like to provide a degree of help for some poor unfortunate chum who can't use his* machine as he* planned. I don't have professional knowledge, just some information and a lot of experience.
*(Grammar usage: I use "his" or "he" in this sentence, but this shouldn't be a universal rule: A female writer should use "she" or "her" in this context, screw what the book says.
