(aka) Duncan McGreggor
I'm currently a subcontractor for NASA, writing Clojure full-time. My previous work history is available on LinkedIn.
I first heard about Linux in the mid-90s during a DiffEq class while studying physics at university. Having started with CP\M in the 80s, and VAX/VMS, DEC's Digital UNIX, and SunOS in the 90s, I was thrilled there was a free "UNIX." My first distro was Slackware, after which I moved to RedHat 5.2, and then to SuSE when RedHat changed their licensing. I used Debian after being exposed to the preferences of other Twisted Python developers, and naturally moved to Ubuntu from there. I haven't looked anywhere else for my Linux needs since then 
I currently run Ubuntu (xfce) on my ThinkPad W550s.
