About Me

I am a huge open source fanboy, I have come to love everything open source. I may not be pro at programming but I know my way around the Linux console like a shoppaholic know her way through the mall. I have experience with several ditros of Linux, mostly Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu. Exen with spending so much time learning Linux and studying for RHCE I still know how to fix and administer Windows from 98 to 7.
Some things I have acomplished in my life are becoming an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts Of America. While I was in highschool I was awarded "Most Valued Editor" for helping everyone with the computers( Apple PPC iMacs ) and Adobe CS3 Suite. That was the most surprising award, it was too much fun to really be anything to me but I had fun helping them so it didn't seem like work and I enjoyed seeing them smile when I taught them something new and made their day easier.
