| Currently i'm running Ubuntu DD as primary OS on my Travelmate 290 and Toshiba T 8000, and i'm still learning new tricks thanks to the documentation & the forums. At work i recuperated an OldWorld G3 PowerPc that was about to be thrown away by installing Ubuntu on it. I've encountered a lot of boundaries and restrictions when trying to get it to work, but in some kind of way i feel it has only helped me to understand how Ubuntu works from the inside out. == Todo == * Making more people Ubuntu-aware * Making demo-material and a handy list for people interested in Ubuntu * Beeing more active on bugreports & translations |

About me
I'm a Belgian (Flemish) ICT engineer interested in open source software development and network security. I maintain 1 FreeBSD, 2 RedHat enterprise servers but the rest of them are just plain Windows 2000/2003 since our clients are all running WinXP pro.
Although i have to work mostly on the Windows platform for my job, i try to invest some time to learn how to handle the open source platforms, since i feel i will be needing the experience within some years when Linux will take over the enterprise networks as Desktop OS. I believe that taking Linux as a desktop environment in the office would increase productivity and security.
The remaining time i develop network/intranet applications, websites and webservices. I ususally develop in one of these languages depending on my needs:
- Java (J2EE)
- Visual Basic (.NET)
- Perl
- PHP 4.x / 5.x
- Ruby
Teams/Groups
Responsible for 2 distribution points in West-Vlaanderen, Belgium: one in Oostduinkerke and one in Roeselare. Check out [http://map.ubuntu-be.org/nl/ the map of personal distribution points].
Member of [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be the ubuntu-be mailing list].
Experience
I have tried out various Linux distributions at home such as Debian, SUSE, Mandriva as secondary OS and a load of live cd's such as Gnoppix, Knoppix STD, Helix, Gentoo before i found Ubuntu. I kinda like the way the Ubuntu community sticks together.
