I started using linux (first Suse (but it automatically canceled my internet connection after 10 min inactivity and I couldn't reconnect) than ubuntu) as my only OS about three years ago. I was never afraid to use the search function, I was never afraid to ask and I was never afraid to use the command line. But that hardly makes me an expert.

Nevertheless, I'd really like to start some programming once. But as it is not on top of my list this might take another year before I give it a try.
