Clear message

Hello! I am Elijah Wright, and I am a geek located in Tennessee. Recent hats I've worn have included system integrator, systems developer, and senior network / system administrator.

I use Ubuntu actively both for servers and on the desktop. I've been using Debian since around 1997, and transitioned to Ubuntu with Warty. My Linux history goes back quite a bit further than that; my first Linux distro was SLS (from SoftLanding Systems), which I got on 5&1/4 inch floppies! Smile :) I've also done a fair bit of Solaris, OpenSolaris, and MacOSX administration.

Recent activity:

You can find my blog at www.geek-guides.com

Sometimes activity there is sort of sparse. Recently, I've been working intensively with Puppet and with R, both of which are great tools.

Contributions

Context:

I have been a user of Debian since 1997 or thereabouts, and have actively used both mainline Debian (generally Unstable) throughout. After the release of Ubuntu, I began also using Ubuntu where I found it to be appropriate. Those uses have grown and developed alongside Ubuntu - first with laptops, then later with server infrastructure.
