My name is Seth Jerome, my user name is just seth or in irc seth|work, or seth|laptop. I am located in Pitman, Pennsylvania. And I have been a linux convert since 1993. I am also a Knoppmyth convert who discovered LinuxMCE just about 4 months ago. I watched the google video and made the switch with a painful CD install, or rather several, of version 7.04.
