Hi, I am Dino Conti, current age 37 and have been using Linux for about 11 years. I have started from Red Hat Linux 7 and currently using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Fedora 12. I have been using several products such as Qmail, BIND, Sendmail, Scalix, MailScanner, Squid, Dansguardian, Apache, Samba and IPTables to build network services for office use. Perl programming also helped me in automating several tasks such as backups, reports and server status logs.

The idea of using Open Source Software has always been interesting to me as users and developers can share their ideas and collaborate to make the software and applications always better. Using Open Source Software has become a good alternative to proprietary software for both home users and also companies who have to pay large amount of licenses.

My web server has some other documentation available on configurations and scripts for Linux DClinux.com

I live in Malta ( South Europe ) and my job is a Systems Engineer with a local firm ( Philip Toledo Limited ). Here we provide support to companies for hardware, operating systems and network services. During my visits to sites, I am the evangelist who brings out Fedora Live CD's, Fedora Games DVD's or other Open source applications.

I also teach at a local training centre STC Training stcmalta.comthe IT Essentials and A+ courses. During these lessons which are mainly focused on Windows support, I like to introduce Fedora Linux to the students to show them that there is something which is free and useable especially for data recovery and normal desktop.

Hope my ideas, experience and approach help to pass the information to local and maybe foreign contacts that Fedora is a great product and its community is much greater

thanks dino
