you will surely find enough *nix people here that will help you with getting into me (me included), and we're looking forward to your Mac knowledge...not many people using Mac here yet..
Introduce yourself!

Hello!
I'm Lundis, a 17 years old guy from Finland. I study maths, physics and stuff like that, which is kinda booring compared to computers.
My main goal in life is learning how stuff work and to do that I'll become a hacker! I like bending rules and ignore everything that reduces freedom.
I started this spring, having no idea what a hacker is really. After reading a mountain of "how to become a hacker" tutorials I figured out that I needed to learn programming, so I got a book on java from the library. Took me a couple of months to read it.
Linux became my main OS, I started a chat program project, my comp broke or something like that (screen turns black at startup/BIOS/login/anything), then I bought a shiny new laptop and installed Ubuntu. Sound, wireless and wired network didn't work. After a few days I managed to make the wired network work, but the rest was hopeless. Now it crashes after I log in for some reason(is my changing background a valid reason?
), so for now I use the Vista that was shipped with the laptop. I don't like it. What's up with hiding settings? that's lame. Anyway, now I just work on my chat program, chat, surf or watch anime all day

welcome to suck-o...
offtopic:
if you only can't login to the desktop use textmode and check what /var/log/syslog says, you will find the reason of the crash in there...in case you can't even use textmode boot a live CD, mount the HDD and then check the logfile this way.of course you can feel free to post in the appropriate boards for more help..

OK, I think this would be the best topic to start posting, so here it goes:
Hello to everyone!
I'm ph0bYx, I'm 18 years old, and still in high school (electrical engineering). Some may know me from SoH, where the inner hacker in me awoke and I started reading and learning about hacking (mostly reading).
Ever since I'm searching various hacking sites, forums, blogs in search for knowledge. So far I collected quite a lot of tutorials, books and videos about hacking and programing, which, when read, would make a pretty solid hacker. Unfortunately I don't have the time to read all that because I have to study hard for school. You see, I come from a poor family and can't afford collage education unless I get really good grades and get in for free. That's pretty much my biggest dream at the moment, to get into a good computer collage.
That's a little bit about me...
I've been reading your forums for a while now, and I have to say that I'm impressed!
I'm impressed about the topics, and discussions here, and by the members.
There are few members here who's opinions I've came to highly respect, who are an inspiration and motivation for learning, achieving my goal to get into a good collage and ultimately to become one of the best hackers in the world, a hacker remembered for a huge effort to bringing computer science to a higher level. It's not only their knowledge that I admire so much , but it's their behavior too. So, bad_brain, catz, DNR, computerthug and nerdz, thank you for being such persons! I haven't been reading very much and I believe that there are more such people here, but these are the few that cough my eye.
Er, OK. I better stop now, because I could go on and on...
So that's it. Thank you for reading.
Regards
ph0bYx

nice post ph0bYx, welcome to the site....
I hope we all can support you a little with our knowledge, so your dream will come true, and of course we are also looking forward to the knowledge you will share with us...
ummm...which site was "SoH" again? it sounds so familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment...
