I have never put my background on a web site before so be kind to me!

I have an engineering background in the automotive and aerospace field. I ended up in th IT department of a large aircraft company and was in the data warehouse end of things with some support of MS office products thrown in for good measure.

I got started in linux in the late 90's when I was getting into oracle databases on sun servers at work. I wanted to learn more about unix and was told to learn linux as a quick and easy way to learn the inner workings of unix. Haven't touched unix in years but have stuck with linux for over 12 years now.

I have used SuSE, debian, RedHat, ubuntu, centos, and I try the various less popular distributions as they come out on a sacrificial machine I keep just to testing.

When I can get the latest Fedora downloaded, ( I am on a seriously troubled satellite internet connection right now) I will be running it for my main OS again.

I have only five PC's in my office, one running dual MS XP (for a reminder of why I switched) and fedora, and the rest running an eclectic mixture of linuxes. My laptop is currently running fedora.
