Who I am
My Ubuntu story
My first experience with linux was with Redhat 5.2 in 1999 as a student because I needed a C compiler, and didn't want to pay for Borland's. I've used Linux in one way or another ever since, and it's been my sole desktop OS since 2004. My first ubuntu version was Edgy Eft, after a co-worker caught me complaining about some poorly written fedora package dependencies. I've been using Ubuntu ever since.

Plans for the future
General
I would like to eventually be recognized as a Core Developer.
What I like least in Ubuntu
I dislike that apt-get/dpkg requires a separate package in order to search for which uninstalled package that provides a specific file. Yum has a search utility built in which doesn't require an additional helper package. I admit this is purely a quibble.
