About Me

I'm a student in the UK reading Computer Science. I first installed Linux in 2001 but only played around on and off for a few years. I installed Warty half way through the Hoary cycle, upgraded, then went back again. I've been using Ubuntu full time since I upgraded to Breezy not long after the repos opened for its development. I've generally tracked the development versions since.
