About Me

My name is Nate Muench (pronounced "Mink"), I live in Wisconsin, and I'm 25 years old. Ubuntu (and Linux in particular) is kind of a hobby because it's a cool alternative to Windows, and did I mention you can do cool stuff in Ubuntu. I should note I use Windows as my primary Operating System (yes, I know BOO).

I began using Ubuntu (and Linux particularly) in college (studying for a IT-Network Specialist) using Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). I mainly used it in Virtual Machines (VMware Workstation). And while in college I also used Fedora and (Open) SUSE Enterprise Server. The first physical machine I installed Ubuntu was on my Netbook (which was duel-booted), with, I believe, Ubuntu 9.10.

Today, I still primarily use Ubuntu on VMs because if I screw up (or something breaks, doesn't boot, etc), I can use the Snapshot feature (which is a great feature by the way) to go back to when it worked. I do have the Development version (in this case it's Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring)).
