Hello from Linux

Linux Mint 14 x64 + Cinnamon installed.

Now I just need to...:
- compile ruby and python (ruby downloading soooo slooooowwwww)
- Finally decide between emacs and vim (though I'm leaning vim)
- Get Xinerama working with my dual head setup. Right now monitors are mirrored
- sudo apt-get install git
- compile some of my own code with gcc for the hell of it
- Find a project on github to contribute to
- Learn how to compile windows software on linux
- Find a decent password manager

Any of you guys ever used linux? Thoughts?

I have VM I use at work running Mint/Cinnamon. I have troubles with the VM and Mint's "hot spot" so I have to disable it to even function.

I am familiar with git, as well as compiling ruby and python on linux. My minecraft/web server runs off of opensuse (which I am liking less and less every day)

If you asked me 1 year ago if I knew anything about Linux, I would tell you I know the basics. I now know some pretty..intermediate stuff, but I am in no way a pro. One step at a time.

Keepass has a version that runs on Mono, which I suspect might be one option to go about porting Windows app over to Linux.

I suggest Keepass as well, however mono is a pain in the plantain to install sometimes. This might also be due to my noobiness.
