<br>Here is My Beginning Linux story.<br>I have been into Linux for seven years now. I enjoy programming, setting
up servers, and a good challenge. It all started for me in Iraq of all
places when I was getting pissed at windows and I was sitting next to an
HQ programmer. We talked about computers, and he started teaching me
about Linux so I booted it up. I thought it was strange at the time but I
kept the disc. I went back to it a few times and in 2006 my xp laptop
crashed. I fixed the boot loader with an Ubuntu live disc. Then dual
booted for a while. It did not take long until I bought the Ubuntu
unleashed book and got interested in programming and servers. I would
use Ubuntu and try out all kinds of Linux. now I have over fifty
Linux/Unix books. I am currently working on PHP and Smarty templates
along with Apache and Mysql.<br>
