Hi, I have been using Linux since 2003. I have taken a couple of Linux administrators courses at a local community college. I learned from Jeremy Anderson,,,,I consider him to be the Guru of Linux.
Since taking the courses, I have spent the majority of my experiences at figuring out how to use Linux on Laptops, realizing that if Linux is to become mainstream, it needs to move past the traditional desktop, but to laptop. Which leads to issues in the proprietary drivers, and configuring wireless. Which I have gotten fairly proficient with. I am now finding out an issue with some of the video cards…as I have duplicate laptops…Dell 1501 Inspiron AMD 1800 and a 1900 Dual-Core laptops…one will install Fedora, Open Suse, Centos, and Mandriva…and one won’t…it will only take Centos with out any major issues.
I have been building desktops, and I have build a laptop…really I rebuilt a laptop because of how everything is limited with laptops….
