CategoryHomepage		 == About Me ==

I was born in 1970 in the Netherlands but I immigrated to the US in 2004 after marrying an American girl. I live in New Jersey, Middlesex county. I used to be a Systems Administrator, about 6 years doing Novell Netware and then about 4 years Unix/Linux (HPUX, Redhat, SuSe, Fedora, CentOS, Mandrake).
Right now I'm a stay home dad, taking care of our two girls.

== Ubuntu ==

I started looking at a variety of distro's as I needed to run Linux on my laptop to remotely support the company I was working for. As I was used to RPM based distro's those were the first ones I looked into. It came down to two choices, Fedora or Suse. I never tried Suse as, even if it is RPM based it's more BSD as System V. After installing Fedora I didn't like it, it was just a little bit to much work to get it running on my laptop. After a couple of months using Fedora I decided to look into Ubuntu. I had time enough as I quit my job to become a stay home dad. I started the CD and low and behold everything just worked, my widescreen, my wireless. This was halfway 2006 and Ubuntu has been on my laptop since.
I try to help out at [http://www.getdeb.net GetDeb.net] by creating packages and since August 2007 I'm a member of [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewJerseyTeam New Jersey Loco Team]

== Interests ==
 * My major interest is computers: From systems administration to programming to web design I like it. Next to the technical aspects of computers I also like the business side, how to implement the right use of a system for a company.

 * Photography: I have a Nikon D50 with two lenses at the moment. I shoot a variety of subjects, my family being number one.

 * Golf: Unfortunately I can't seem to have the time to play.
