About Me

My name is Paul Williams, and I am a 16-year-old high school student living in Columbus, Ohio. I first installed Ubuntu when I was 14. I now have a multitude of computers running Ubuntu, including an Apache server running my website, SmoothWeb. I also installed Ubuntu on my parents' laptops, and they haven't looked back to Windows since.
