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). I never really administrated Linux on desktops, just servers and besides the operating system it also involved application administration, like Apache, MySQL etc. 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.

Memberships

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.

Accomplishments in Ubuntu Community

GetDeb

I had a list of packages that I build but that was to much of a pain to keep updated Smile :)

  • Games: It's not really my interest and there for I can't really get myself to work on it.

Goals

I don't have many goals as I rather live day by day but here are a few that I could think of.

Personal Goals

  • Get healthier. I have some health issues I want to overcome.
  • Become an American citizen
  • Learn Python
  • Read more books

Ubuntu Goals

  • Create a package from scratch.

  • Do more for the NJ LoCo

  • Make www.getdeb.net the place to go to for software you want.

  • See if I can help out the ServerTeam
