About me

Ive been using various forms of Linux for around 5 years. For the past year i have also done some red hat admin in my place of work. I have been a Ubuntu Desktop user for around 3 years and also run debian stable and testing/dev dists on a few servers i have for varying purposes. Mail irc/IM in stable and gaining knowledge in test/dev. Having run and worked with Ubuntu, i would like to help to give back to the community which has served me so well, starting with learning more about how the distribution works and hopefully continuing with dev work eventually. Meeting like minded individuals and sharing ideas is also a plus.
