I'm an 18 year old student who's just started CS degree a couple of months ago

I've had a general interest about computing since I was like 5, and I've been learning on and off as much as I can. I've tilted towards the security side of computing, I guess its the fascination with how the dark-side seems to always undermine new technologies and how they do it from a logical point of view.

I'm a programmer of few languages (pascal/delphi, C/C++, C# and a lil bit of x86 asm) which has all been on windows, I am currently deciding whether I should try to install either backtrack or nubuntu (I hear theres an update tonight) and learn to program on linux

my knowledge of operating systems is basic I have very little linux experience (which hope to change). I know basically face value of how windows works and not much of the wheels and cogs underneath.

I think that about ends my virtual-life story
