From one on the same road (Score 1)

Congratulations on your achievement. I also am a user of computers who has found linux to be a wonderful way to achieve my desires and little inclination to become a kernel hacker and reprogram the machine from one end to the other. I wish you continued luck and hope all goes well... and if I can make a suggestion -> find, or form, a local LUG (Linux Users' Group) so you can stand and say, "Hi, my name is ______ and I am a linux user" and then share your experiences from the other side of the fence!
