Hi from Switzerland

Hi all

I've been a lurker and member for some time, but never posted an introduction, so here goes.

I'm an english guy of indeterminate age, young at heart I guess. IBM Host developer for around 25 years.
I'm more of a hobby PCist, and like tinkering around a lot. Based on tips and advice I've picked up here, I've become a bit of a PC guru and fixer for buddies in the ex pat community here.
I run a variety of PCs, networked either wirelessly, or via Devolo boxes. Still struggling with Devolo. Have them sharing my net connection, but not files both ways, but that's another story.
Just picked up another PC to add to my collection, and am going to try the Linux route via Ubuntu, so any tips would be gratefully received.
I basically want to set it up, networked, sharing an internet connection, and use Linux equivalents to surf, chat, cam, email, free office, download, burn, program, etc etc, learn and share.
Ultimately like to offer my services as a Major Geek guru.

I look forward to making new friends and acquaintances

Kerry
