I have been a linux user for 11 years now.  I first started with redhat and quickly moved on to Mandrake because it was geared more to the desktop.  This was back in 1999.  I think I have tried almost every linux distro to come out but always came back to mandrake/mandriva. My training is in computer tech, hardware, not software but I have no problem helping people figure out how to do something in Linux. I would love to be involved with this new distro right from the beginning so if the people in charge see this, just let me know how I can help.
