Hellow My name is Chip
I've been using GNU/Linux since in some fashion or another since I was in Middle/High School. This was back in the days when Red Hat was still it's own company. I can also remember that not only was this in the time period where Apachee OpenOffice was the default productivity suite for a good chunck of the Linux Distributions. I can also vividly remember what a huge pita it was to get both broad-com WiFi chip-set based WiFi adapters working because of the single fact that you had to use the bw43-cutter utility in order to get your broad chip-set based WiFi adapter boards working correctly. I was still a huge newbie to all of this cumming from playing title A games of the day like the Unreal tournament series and the original I can also remember how hellishly difficult it was to get a NVIDIA graphics card to play nicely.
