=== Computer experience === I have been using computers since 1982 and building computers since 1998. I have been using Linux since 2001, when it became my primary operating system. Since I started using Linux I have learned HTML, CSS, javascript, shell scripting, python, and perl. I have been using Ubuntu as my sole operating system since 2005. Linux taught me that I could build or download software rather than buy it and still yield a quality system. |
