#format wiki #language en * '''Born''' September 4, 1987 * Email: <> == Personal Linux Story == Back in the summer of 2003 I began contemplating intalling linux on a new computer I was about to assemble, since I was running short of cash for a new copy of Windows. I started searching around for a distro. I tried: * Redhat * A version of Windows I legally obtained from a school website, but i couldnt stand it * Knoppix * Ubuntu 5.05 When I installed Ubuntu for the first time, I was connected to my home network via wireless, and was having some major problems with it not connecting, so i fell back to Windows >_< for a couple months. I then decided to move my router and DSL modem up to my room. Again I installed Ubuntu (5.10 Hoary Hedgehog) which i had just ordered from ShipIt, and VOILA it was a success. I've reinstalled a few times, with different setups and GUI's. At one point i remember having KDE, XFCE and GNOME installed, and would frequently logout of Gnome and play around in KDE, which I quickly grew to hate. I thinks its due to the excessive amounts of customization that I was obsessed with and never actually was productive. I currently use Gnome, with ''Ubuntu 6.10 '''Edgy Eft''''' and am very happpy with it. == Interests == * Linux * Drinking * Reading * The Internet == Skills == * C++ Programming (4 years experience) * Nunchuck skills (pretty much my whole life) * HTML (3 years) * Sweet Computer Hacking Skills (chicks dig guys with skills) == Learning == * Linux (FedoraCore5, Ubuntu, Knoppix) * Microsoft Windows 2k Server * PHP * JavaScript * Programming in General (C++, Java, Assembly Language) == Current Books == * Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy : Mostly Harmless * Digital Fortress - Dan Brown ---- CategoryHomepage
