Hi people,
I work in tech as a system admin, though I’ve never been officially a linux admin, I’ve tinkered with linux since the 2000’s with my first being a knoppix disk. I found this site for spinning up my first full home lab and love the content on the blog. Solid info about linux and I keep coming back to the blog for the articles.
I’m interested to read what’s here on the forums too!
Cheers,
B.

Welcome to our Linux community @wake60
I’ve actually never heard of Knoppix before, so that’s a cool bit of history. 
Sounds like it was one of those early gateway distros for a lot of folks, definitely predates my time with Linux. 
Glad you found the blog helpful for your home lab setup. I sincerely appreciate you taking a moment to leave some feedback, and even more so to be able to engage with readers.
There’s a solid group of people here into the same kind of stuff, so I think you’ll fit right in. Looking forward to seeing what you’re building!
Hi everyone!
I’m Krzysztof. Working as CNC technologists and constructor in furniture industry.
Have been tinkering with computers for years, but only for myself and my family. My love to Linux is constantly growing and I can’t ingore it any longer 
This year I’m preparing to jump in to IT professionally. I hope that Linux Foundation certification (Cloud engineer) will help me a lot. Looking forward to learn from you all as well!
Thank you @hydn for all your inspiring blog articles (following them for over a year now) and for the invitation.
It’s good to be here.

Hi @Lynx, welcome aboard!
That’s a solid path you’re carving out. From CNC to IT with a growing Linux passion. The Cloud Engineer cert from the Linux Foundation is a great move! Especially with all the demand around cloud-native and containerized workloads right now.
I appreciate the kind words about the blog too, it means a lot to know it’s been helpful!
Looking forward to seeing your journey unfold, and hope the community here helps make the transition even smoother. Don’t hesitate to jump in anywhere!

Hello. I am about to have 70 years old (looking 60…).
Living in Europe, Belgium, Waterloo (99 % of people livint there don’t translate Water and loo 
)
I am a former Informatic, at the beginning (Win 98, Pascal, Dbase IV,… = prehistoric wordl). That means that I am a passive user; no need to start to code in Python (interpreted language. Horrible for uns. In de years '90 we had panalties when our code was above 64 k = obliged to compile and look for the errors).
I was fed of Windows, thus I came to linux.
Today, looking for an alternative to AI - Windows based, I felt on DeepSeek. For sure, I removed other AI_S from my mobile, tablet and PC
When starting to install it on my computer, I felt on you, guys. That’s all.
Nice to meet you.

Welcome @Thierry_H
Love the intro—especially the Waterloo bit 
. You’ve definitely earned your stripes coming from Pascal and dBase IV.
Glad you landed here while exploring DeepSeek. There’s a solid crew around who’ve also made the switch from Windows to Linux, so you’re in good company.
Feel free to share what you’re trying to get out of DeepSeek in our General Discussions or your Linux setup and Deepseek project in Showcase when complete.
We are happy to bounce ideas around or help troubleshoot. Nice to have you with us!
Hi Billy,
Welcome to our humble little forum. So are you on Debian 12 or Trixie? we have a @Debian forum and your welcome to join us there. SCO Unix… reminds me of the company that tried suing companies because they were using copyrighted code. That was until showed who had the patents and where the code had been copy/pasted. Hopefully they got rid of that CEO and they are a better company now 
Anyway welcome to us.
