Ubuntu Wiki

Me

My name is OerHeks, an active Ubuntu user since 2009, living in Haarlem, a small town 10 miles from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Interested in Desktop use, and you can find me daily in the IRC channels, to learn and give support.

Ubuntu

My involvement in Ubuntu up to now includes Ubuntu IRC-channels & mailing lists & trying to help anyone to understand the freedom and power of open source tools, showing how to use them and give background info about how these can change your life, being creative and succesful. Also Operator in #ubuntu-nl

Hardware

Special interest is helping understand the possibilities of your hardware, pros and cons, and give you free advise what is profitable to upgrade to make using Ubuntu more fun.

Goals

Help spreading the best linux version to all people who need a clean, safe and free operatingsystem.

Future Goals

I would like trying to unite all solitairy manual writers back to ubuntu official wiki pages, as many fragmented howto's confuse new users. All those 'islands of knowlegde' should be one trusted continent.
