Why Linux

I have been using Linux since 1998! I have always enjoyed the spirit of the Open Source Movement and the various projects around it. I have been using Ubuntu as my main operating system since 2006. Back then I would dual boot but those days are long gone! I recently found Lubuntu and decided to finally get involved instead of just admiring.

About Me

I'm self-employed. I have been for the last two years and I am enjoying life! Reading other pages especially Phill Whiteside's page, inspired me to share more of my story. My first computer was a Texas Instrument 99/4a. On that machine I learned Basic and I have been in love with computers since. I was blessed to play football in exchange for education thus, allowing me to further my passion about computers. I must say that I love all things technical / technology. As I mentioned earlier I have been a fan of Linux for quite some time now and I very proud to begin this journey to become involved with such a worthy project. I must thank the first person that helped me to get started with the Lubuntu Project, Karl Anliot. I look forward to meeting new kindred spirits and working together. Be Blessed!!!

I think

Linux is on the rise and nothing can stop that!

I am here to

I'm here because I would like to make a positive impact in the Open Source Movement. Moreover, many of these projects are worthy to be involved with and I would like to help in any manner that is positive. I believe in what Ubuntu stands for in the community and how that inspired the this Linux Distribution! Thusly, making Ubuntu and all its variants a vital project in the Open Source Movement and the Freedom of Choice worldwide!!! How large is that? Be Blessed!!!
