Hello everyone, my name is Markus McLaughlin, I am both a member of the Fedora Project and a Linux blogger with a blog at <a href="http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com">http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com</a>.&nbsp; About 5 years ago, I became a fan<br>
of Linux but did not actually use it until I bought my first Mac, which was a Mini, I now use an Intel <br>iMac and I run Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04, and openSUSE in VMware Fusion.&nbsp; I want to reach out<br>to other Linux hobbyists AND writers who want to promote Linux.&nbsp; What I want to do with my blog<br>
is to add other Writers who want to both promote Linux and help those who don&#39;t know what to do<br>with it, with columns.&nbsp; Hopefully, Red Hat, Novell, and other companies will want to help fund a<br>major Linux Magazine right here in North America.&nbsp; I want to help fill a niche that needs to be<br>
filled and HELP those who can&#39;t afford a Windows/Mac computer have free tools, internet access,<br>and an inexpensive used laptop/desktop.&nbsp; Anyway, if anyone here has any ideas on what we can do together to promote Linux in this part of Massachusetts, PLEASE contact me.&nbsp; Fedora 9, IMHO, is much better than Ubuntu, so please check out the Fedora site at <a href="http://fedoraproject.org">http://fedoraproject.org</a> soon!&nbsp; Onward and forward!!!<br>
