I'm an Ubuntu/Linux user who's been self-taught (with help from the Internet) since 2009. I love the choices a user gets when using Ubuntu, as opposed to some other OSes.. KDE is my favourite/preferred DM. I'm not a programmer per se but I do have some (old and out-of-date) programming experience. I enjoy troubleshooting machines (so long as I'm not in the middle of an important rush project!).

I currently run Ubuntu on three machines and Mepis 8.0 on a fourth. One of my goals is to collect old (read: not brand-spanking new and Windows 7 ready) machines and give them new life with Ubuntu or another Linux distribution.
