History Started using Linux in 1997... Using Red Hat and had it was the first time i've encontered the Dependecy hell (rpm) it was a pain to configure and install programs back then 
Then I tried Debian and the apt system and i've felt in love, used debian for all my desktops and servers, also i've used slackware in some of my servers.
When I read in distrowatch that a new linux distribution based in gnome was starting, i've felt imediatly interesed in it...and start using ubuntu from Warty, then Hoary and now Breezy.

In the last year i've worked in an hotel, assembly a server with ubuntu (hoary), with E-mail, Squid, Apache (webpage), and some workstations with Openoffice, email reading (Evolution) SSH, VNC, and Mysql, but the frontdesk reception still had 1 computer runing win server 2003 because the hotel program (Protel) only works in windows systems. I have to say that is the worst program i've ever worked (Protel is a very bad program for hotels)
