Hi =o. I'm not really sure where to begin since I was referred to the site by Spior without any indication of what I'd do here or who I'd meet :3.

My name in Makermod is Mr. Dinnertime (give or take a few foreign and special characters)

I used to roleplay on japlus a lot on uhh... What was it called o.o... Resurrection rp? And others after that. Used to have names like Zeusii, Xanté... And more which I can't remember xD

I'm also a complete beginner at MBII and could do with some pointers of how to play the darned thing xD. My name on there is Damned Visor.

 

I live in England and try to live up to that role by speaking English as well as I can :3. I'm 19, 20 in February. O_-... Can't really think of much else.

 

Oh.. I was supposed to mention something beginning with L... Lining? O_o... Lipstick... Lincoln... Linux? Yeah... Linux.

 

That's all I can think of for now =)

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
