Thanks to you & your tips, I am thoroughly enjoying Ubuntu much more than Windows 7 I really love your site & hope you’ll keep posting more tips for us Ubuntu newbies. You have helped me A LOT.

& don’t give a flying fuck about what people are saying about your English. English is a hard language to learn. They’re probably pissed cuz’ mommy’s making them pay $rent$ for the basement they’ve lived under for 26 years
