About Me

I have been a user of Ubuntu since late 2005(Breezy Badger). I have recently joined the Georgia LoCo, and started work on the New User Team. I have also become an Eagle Scout over the past year. Other than that, I enjoy camping (hiking, etc.), target shooting, and working with computers (duh!).

Why I chose Ubuntu

I first ran into Ubuntu because of one of my friends testing it out, gave me a CD. I tried it on one of my older computers, beleiving that Linux was old, ugly, and was just a toy. After trying it out for a few weeks, I really started to enjoy it. I finally installed it on my main computer, my laptop. I have danced around with Windows since then up until Steve Ballmer (Microsoft's CEO) started making comments after the Novell/Microsoft agreement. It was then that I finally switched to Ubuntu, and didn't look back. I currently use and support K/X/E/Ubuntu, Freespire, and Linux Mint.

As for Open Source, I would prefer that all software be open source, but I am not a purist or elitest. I follow the "World Domination 201" philosophy. I believe that until open source drivers are made available, we should use proprietary drivers instead.
