Hello from Croatia

Hi from another gnome2 refugee
Using linux at home from ubuntu 6.06, switched to XFCE when they switched default DE to unity.
Currently at xubuntu 12.04.
Been playing for a while with arch+xfce (really cool distro) but didn't find the time for a switch.
So not really a newbie

Re: Hello from Croatia

Pozdrav iz Kanade. Which part of Croatia are you from?
Both Xubuntu and Arch have quality Xfce implementations - I have my laptop setup to dual-boot between them.

Re: Hello from Croatia

Kind of. My parents were born in Centingrad near Zagreb. I was born in Canada. I know some conversational Croatian but its more a combination of Croatian and English (Croatianlish?). lol. I hope to visit Croatia in the near future - its a beautiful country.

Re: Hello from Croatia

There is a number of people that emigrated to Canada somewhere after WW 2. My wife has relatives in Canada, someone from her grandmothers side, they come to a long vacation every couple of years. Of course, their kids are now 2nd generation born in Canada and don't speak croatian any more, but their parents speak a little italian, Istria is part bilingual (croatian and italian). My wife's grandmother speaks very little croatian, only italian LOL
