About Me

Hiya. My name is John O'Hara and I live in Southern NJ. I've been into computers and game systems for as long as I can remember and do repairs in my local area for several clients. I am currently migrating all my home systems, including my sons laptop, to Ubuntu linux. I'm a member of the New Jersey LoCo team at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewJerseyTeam/Team and hope to be more active in the community in spreading the word about linux.
