About Me

I wish I could remember what prompted me to try Ubuntu. I remember I had recently spent a whopping $15 for a Dell OptiPlex GX110 at University Surplus. Now I had a computer with enough horsepower to actually run a "modern" Linux. I downloaded and dual-booted Hoary Hedgehog with XP. In the meantime, I got a $70 Dell Dimension 4100 tower (still using it) so I could try the new Breezy Badger release (when the FREE CD's arrived) without losing my working machine. I alternated upgrades between the two machines until the 128M on the GX110 became inadequate for new versions. The 4100 ran Gutsy until I doubled the RAM to 512M and "upgraded" to Hardy. My first "new" laptop runs Jaunty, and the latest addition (a Dell Dimension 4500S from Goodwill Reboot) is waiting to have XP Home Edition replaced. A couple of (Hardy) servers fill what's left of the living room.

I joined the Ubuntu Forums in early 2006 (January) and started trying to share what I knew of Linux - Ubuntu in particular. I hope I help solve more problems than I cause...

Ubuntu Contributions

Ubuntu My current contribution is support forum participation. Few things are more satisfying than seeing a problem solved. I continue to seek opportunities to contribute.


(o) A couple of my contribution attempts have not turned out as well as I had hoped. My application for membership on the Documentation Team was declined.
My application for membership on the Unanswered Posts Team was ... well, unanswered.

Goals

  • Ubuntu Ubuntu membership
    Ubuntu Find a way to benefit a Team (or so)
    Ubuntu Support and promote Iowa LoCo
    Ubuntu Continue Support Forum participation
    Ubuntu IRC participation

Testimonials

Hopefully, this section won't stay empty...
