Hello and congratulations on your new forums, I hope they go well.
Well, if someone don't know who I am...
My name is Maxim Bardin aka MaximB ;)
I'm 27 years old, live in Israel and the editor of the http://LinuxGamingNews.org website.
I work as a Linux/Windows System Administrator for a small startup company and basically do nothing all day at work, which gives me the opportunity to post news on LGN.
P.S
I already own Eschalon Book 2 which is a great game, so I'm not here for this contest ;)
My name is Alexander Pataridze, i'm from Georgia, 17 years old
Firstly tried linux nearly 2 years ago
Nice to meet you guys ;)
Hi! I'm Iwan and I found this forum via LGN's announcement. I'm one of the admins of the FreeGameDev forums.

Hello all,
My name is Hamish Paul Wilson and I am 16 and live on a Canadian Ranch just a few kilometres from the summer village of Seba Beach, which is about an hours drive from Edmonton. I have been using Linux to a certain extent all my life, being introduced to it by my father who was actually part of the original Usenet group where Linus Torvalds originally announced Linux to the world. I have been using it as my main operating system since 2007. I have been a serious gamer since I first played Doom when I was seven, and it was also Doom which inspired me to start programming and working on games of my own.
As of the moment these are my Computer Specifications:
Operating System: Fedora 13 Linux
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3650
Memory: 4 Gigabytes
Processor: AMD Sempron CPU 2.7 Ghz
Hard drives: 71.6 GB and 35 GB
Alongside game programming and general fiddling, I also spend my time working on several other projects. I am an administrator of three Wikis and am in a large part responsible for much of the Linux gaming coverage that can be found on Wikipedia. When I have time I will make a general portfolio of my work on my Icculus.org page. I hold both Canadian Citizenship as well as New Zealand Citizenship by descent. Well, I think that is more than most people would care to know about me, so for now I will leave it at that.
Most know me as Tweakedenigma, at least anyone from the Ubuntu Forum.
My real name is Kory 26 and I am from Atlantic Canada. Have been using Linux for years and I am happy to see a lot more games coming out.
Hello i am pyux. Also known as pooks. I have used linux scince 2004. I only really used mandrake, mandriva, and ubuntu. I dont like using command line ^^
I only really play online games with other peole cause i get bored playing on my own ^^
I'm Troy, an independent game developer and owner/operator of My Game Company in San Diego, CA. I'm also a proponent of Linux gaming. I've written some articles on gamedev.net about commercial Linux game development, I've helped a number of other indies with their initial Linux ports, and I'm always advocating Linux game development in various developer forums where I participate.
I'm Cheese. I've been using Linux as my working environment since 2003 and exclusively since 2005. I often write stuff about Linux gaming on my "Cheese talks to" site, and I've also just started as a guest writer here on Gaming On Linux.
In my spare time (depending upon how you look at it), I'm also a photographer, programmer and graphic designer. I use open source tools for all my work. Huzzah!

I also try to help people in the forums(mint and winehq) or if they have questions about some wine tweaking or stuff like that.
thats about it for now.

I'm... Oh screw it. Just look on the left. ^^
30-some old (too old), using GNU/Linux since 2004, hobbyist translator, part-time indie helper (does such a thing even exist?), tech support for specific solutions as far as the dayjob is concerned, long-time GOL lurker, and that isn't too bad for a first post methinks. Feel free to ask if it isn't enough for you.

So, I'm CzarnyNalesnik (word for word - black pancake :D ) and live in Germany. English is my fourth language.
I use Linux since six years, my first distribution was Fedora, then tried Debian and finally I chose Ubuntu. Cool, that's my fifth year without Windows ;)
More privately.. I'm still learning, except linux I like football, drawing (I'm going to "art school" :D ) and good "oldschool" video games for NES, SNES, Atari.
You can meet me at DUG and ubuntuforums.org. I have my website about linux games too, but it's not competition for you, cause it's a site in polish language.
;)
Haven't tried a game on Linux yet but would be interesting to do, but I guess it wouldn’t be that different from Windows. But I might be wrong…
Will the future for gaming be Linux?

Big DRM-free games supporter, I've got a Steam account nonetheless. :P
Been using Linux off and on for a few years now, typically on my second PC, and am currently developing a game that I'm hoping to release on Ubuntu.
