LONG LIVE LINUX

It was my first time to be at a Linux user group hang out,
but it was awesome, getting to have a community of people who are supportive and willing to freely share their innovations without reservations.

For the past one month at Mountbatten am already getting influenced to learn Drupal for website design and hopefully next week will upgrade my laptop from Windows Vista to LINUX 10. Because I have tried it out while running it on live CD and its awesome.

Will only need help to maintain some applications i was previous running on windows or get alternatives

I was worried if this month we would have no events for the user community
