Idon’t remember exactly when I started using Linux but I guess it was around 2002. Since then I used different linux distros pretty much on daily base. In the company I was working for many years (despite my official position) I got the nickname “the white hacker”. I got quite some experience as a desktop user but also configuring severs, nowadays mostly virtual. My philosophy when it comes to technologies, I prefer to work as much a possible with opensource solutions.
