Hello,
My name is Johan, living in the Netherlands.
Using Linux from 1998, but brand new to Debian :-)
I hope to learn a lot here, from the Debian guru's.

Its customary to post your desktop here when you join the forums.
Every cloud has a silver lining, except for the mushroom shaped ones, which have a lining of Strontium 90.

Welcome! I don't know anyone here who can say with confidence that they are a "Debian guru" (without lying to themselves). We are all here to learn and enjoy the distro we love.
