About Me

I have been using Ubuntu regularly since Hardy. I have been using and tesing UbuntuStudio, and helping support the UbuntuStudio community in the IRC channel #ubuntustudio, as well as new users in #ubuntu-beginners and where ever else i feel i can help. I am not a coder, but I'm really good at troubleshooting, and enjoy giving back to the community in the IRC support channels.

This is a solo recording called 'living' that was made entirely using Ubuntu.

Testimonials

This guy deserves Ubuntu membership on giving support alone, I see him help people with their issues daily! Excellent work man. -- UndiFineD 2011-04-14

holstein spends many hours assisting users with issues on IRC. I have observed him solving users problems with great ease patience. An outstanding troubleshooter, he works through complex issues making them appear easy to resolve. Able to assist both beginners and experienced users alike, I have no doubt he will be an outstanding Ubuntu Member. -- charlie-tca 2011-08-12 03:04:26 , Xubuntu Project Lead

I first met Holstein when I first came onto #ubuntu-beginners to get a few technical questions answered. This man spent a full hour with me going over different ways to accomplish a ssh task. When others will just link me to the documentation he just not only gives support, he teaches from experience. Holstein has showed me what true patience is when giving support to other Ubuntu users and has allowed me to see the spirit of Ubuntu when he Takes control and helps people with their computer problems. he does this with a grateful, not combative or condescending way, as I have seen many times with other tech support channels. He represents the Ubuntu code on conduct with his spirit, to show how good this system truly is. As a Ubuntu Member I think he would make an excellent member as well. -- philipballew 08-13-2011
