About

Hi, I'm known online as Thomas de Graaff, which happens to be my real name. My first computer experience was on a Apple II clone. My first encounter with (Red Hat) Linux must have been around 1999, on a first generation iMac. Then I needed Windows at university doing CAD stuff designing architecture. I came to Ubuntu as a typical end user when Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04) was released. I had some trouble getting it to work on my laptop, and got hooked by the community.

Ict learning

I'm a LPI 1 certified, this I thought myself.
