About Me
Greetings, I'm Benny, 28 years old (l)ubunter from Finland who is also a husband and a father of two fabulous kids.
I got my first touch for the computers with Commodore 64 back in the year 1988 when my brother got it as a christmas present, but it didn't take long for me to take it over from him. Since then I've owned lots of different kind of x86, PPC, 680x0, Alpha and SPARC computers.
I've been using Linux since 1998, it was Red Hat 5.2 Manhattan and I can say that I've been through RPM dependency hell. From Red Hat it was an obvious move to try out Mandrake and keep moving toward the Debian, I had heard about apt-get and how it can handle the dependencies. It was like a miracle!
Then came my former neighbor who showed me a path to the dark side and gave me a FreeBSD, Since 2003 I've used it regulary, mainly as a router and dns machine.
I remember it was 2005 when a friend of mine gave me a mystical CD which he got from school. It was Debian based new Linux distribution which had a LIVE CD possibility to try it out and give instant desktop to use when you install it. So, that was the moment I first installed Ubuntu 5.10 to my girlfriends (nowdays my wife computer. And since then, I've been using Ubuntu and different kind of versions of it and spreading the word about it. Even my parents-in-law use Ubuntu on their laptop and desktop
My Involvement in the ubuntu community
I've been hunting bugs from Lubuntu 10.10 and using different kind of hardware as possible, you can mainly find me from the Finnish Ubuntu community Forum, but as a father of two young children I'm not visiting that site too often, so I'm usually giving advices on IRC. I'm also a member of Lubuntu mailing-list and I might post something, if I've got something to say, but usually I just like to watch what people write and have to say.
And if someone needs help in Finnish, I'm eager to help him as much as I can.
Lubuntu
For me Lubuntu is the most precious Ubuntu of them all. So pretty and still so fast, simplicity is the beauty.

Ubuntu Beginners Team
Hi, I've had the pleasure of seeing bioterror in work on the #lubuntu channel. He has the knowledge, ability to find out stuff but most importantly; he has the patience of saint. He is a valued member of the lubuntu family and has volunteered to help out on ubuntu-beginners. I think that says a lot of his character and I totally support his application. phillw
