Open Source
I started using Linux in 1997 at School. One year later, i was responsible for an local ISP, by migrating its servers to Linux. My love for Linux and Open Source softwares has grew up from that epoch.
Ubuntu
I started using Ubuntu in 2005, with Breezy. It saved me a lot of time by doing what i had to do manually in other distributions. So, definitely Ubuntu is my distro!
