Hi, I'm John. Linux is the rage new Desktop replacing Winows. Linux and Linux software packages are free! It's pretty easy and intuitive stuff. Most folks cut their teeth (and wallets) on Windows and some find Linux strange at first. Now there are Linux gurus in Brisbane to help you with your installations and configuration problems.
We cover most aspects of Linux especially openSUSE and Ubuntu (Kubuntu too and Mint etc etc / whatever). Maybe I'll just post a list of our focus areas and you can call me if you need any help.
If you want to get free advice, you're very welcome to join the forum where I hang out a lot. I'm one of the Administrators of Novell's openSUSE Forums (track me down as swerdna). Join up and post a question any time and send me a PM or email to let me know you need help [contact details here].
