| Linux user since 2003, when in the 9th Grade I installed Mandrake 9.1 on an old Desktop. I have since moved between Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, and finally Ubuntu. I have been a recreational Programmer since 2004, Professionally since 2006. I have been working with Embedded Linux (ARM) since 2007, developing a debian derived OS for our platform. I have been employed since 2008 as an x86 developer and lead architect at a small company. Currently an undergrad with a declared CS Major. |

Once, a famous Windows system administrator came to Master Foo and asked him for instruction: “I have heard that you are a powerful Unix wizard. Let us trade secrets, that we may both gain thereby.” |

| <insert plug here> | The administrator looked puzzled at this. “But it is said that you are a great Unix guru who knows all the innermost mysteries. As do I in Windows; I am an MCSE, and I have many other certifications of knowledge not common in the world. I know even the most obscure registry entries by heart. I can tell you everything about the Windows API, yes, even secrets those of Redmond have half-forgotten. What is the arcane lore that gives you your power?” Master Foo said: “I have none. Nothing is hidden, nothing is revealed.” Growing angry, the administrator said “Very well, if you hold no secrets, then tell me: what do I have to know to become as powerful in the Unix way as you?” Master Foo said: “A man who mistakes secrets for knowledge is like a man who, seeking light, hugs a candle so closely that he smothers it and burns his hand.” <<Include(Paultag/Nav)>> <<Include(Paultag/Roles)>> |
