= Introduction =
My name is Chris Brotherton and I am research scientist living in Albuquerque,NM.  

I first started using Linux back in 2000 after getting bored with windows.  At first, I used slackware (didn't everyone) and then moved on to Red Hat.  In the year 2002, I got serious about Linux and stopped using windows.  At that point, I had found Debian.  Currently, I use both Kubuntu and Debian.  

My hobbies include Linux, hiking, homebrewing, video games, traveling and reading.
