Hi there,

I work for [http://www.mcafee.com McAfee] as a QA Engineer. I started using Ubuntu with Hoary since about three or four months before it went stable, then I moved to Breezy and now I am doing some testing of Dapper. Before that I have been using Debian in a bastardised mix of Sarge, Sid and Experimental. Going back further I have used RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, Gentoo, TurboLinux and ROCK Linux.

What do I use Kubuntu for?

• Development - I write a fair bit of perl, shell-script etc.
• Writing - documentation, letters, business correspondance.

• Entertainment - I play chess and NeverWinter Nights.

• Miscellaneous - browsing the web, mail, IRC, jabber and so on.

What hardware?

• Breezy is installed on my workstation at home, a Sempron box, Asus A7V600. It runs various services for me and my family.

• Breezy is also installed on my two workstations at work, and on various test kit.
• My IBM X31 will be used for testing of installs, upgrades etc.

What software?

• Office Stuff - OpenOffice, KOffice, GNumeric

• Editors - vim, emacs, Kate
• Mail - KMail, Opera, mutt

• Web - Opera, FireFox, Epiphany, Konqueror

• more to be added

I am a QA engineer, but also a SysAdm, so I have a reasonably good clue to how the system works. If there is something that doesn't work, I tinker with it until it does or I get stuck and I have to ask if someone else knows the answer. I have had a look at Dapper already on a couple of worker-boxes I make use of and I am working on a totally automated install. I add stuff to my personal [http://lenin.trudheim.com/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Trudheim/WebHome Wiki] for stuff I tinker with.

For further details, mail me and I will answer any, well - most, questions you may have.
