I have been reading up on this forum quite often before but never joined. I'm in IT and not very afraid of using Linux, I have used/played with quite a few linux flavors before and liked Mint the most til now. I have worked with:
- - IPCop (internship, doens't really count)
- Smoothwall (internship + self, doesn't really count)
- CentOS (school)
- Debian (school)
- OpenSuse
- Backtrack (self)
- Kali (self)
- Ubuntu+Ubuntu Server(self)
- Xubuntu
- Mint13 (self)
Needless to say, I've grown quite a bit in that. I have had Mint 13 running on my laptop before, but killed it with a skype-installation-gone-wrong and went and tried something new. I've had a few Backtrack Live dvd's and had Kali installed to try a few security matters I really wanted to test (WEP and such), since it helps me understand the security part of IT a lot better. So here I am, Mint17.1 on an old beaten up laptop, but with a lot of interest of making this actually work. And who know's, maybe I can switch to Linux "permanently".
