rgreening
About me
- 37 years old, English, and residing in St. John's, NL, Canada.
- Currently working for a Telecommunications Company, managing Service Delivery team.
- I am a Linux user since '93. I have used Slackware, Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake (Mandriva), Gentoo and now Kubuntu.
- I have successfully switched many of my non-techie friends and family to Kubuntu, and now I am also running Kubuntu on the desktop and Ubuntu Server for some firewall and server needs.
- I recently was involved in maintaining an overlay for Gentoo regarding special desktop enhancements and effects, some of which Kubuntu has recently integrated. The overlay was called Xeffects, and had many enhancements.
I am a Kubuntu Member since October, 2008, having been approved as a direct result of my help in updating packages necessary for the Intrepid Ibex release.
Interests
- Reading anything Sci-Fi (mostly Star-Trek and Stargate (original and Atlantis)).
- Photography (I have a Canon Rebel Xt DSLR).
- Filmography (Currently taking a course in making Films)
