Although i have to work mostly on the Windows platform for my job, i try to invest some time to learn how to handle the open source platforms, since i feel i will be needing the experience within some years when Linux will take over the enterprise networks as Desktop OS. I believe that taking Linux as a desktop environment in the office would increase productivity...

Currently i'm running Ubuntu BB as primary OS on my Travelmate 290 for over 1 year now, and i'm still learning new tricks thanks to the documentation & the forums. At work i recuperated an OldWorld G3 PowerPc that was about to be thrown away by installing Ubuntu on it. I have Ubuntu DD running on the Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 RC 2 platform on my workstation. Besides the small problem with the initial resolution settings wich was solved quickly by vim'ing xorg.conf, i had no troubles so far.

 * Searching a local Ubuntu/Linux group
 * Making more people Ubuntu-aware
 * Bugtesting Ubuntu DD on the virtual server 2005 RC2 platform
 * Beeing more active on bugreports & translations
Currently i'm running Ubuntu as primary OS on my Travelmate 290 and Toshiba T 8000, and i'm still learning new tricks thanks to the documentation & the forums. At work i recuperated an Mac G3 PowerPc that was about to be thrown away by installing Ubuntu on it. I've encountered a lot of boundaries and restrictions when trying to get it to work, but in some kind of way i feel it has only helped me to understand how Ubuntu works from the inside out.

About me

I'm a Belgian (Flemish) ICT engineer interested in open source software development and network security. I maintain 1 FreeBSD, 2 RedHat enterprise servers but the rest of them are just plain Windows 2000/2003 since our clients are all running WinXP pro.

Although i have to work mostly on the Windows platform for my job, i try to invest some time to learn how to handle the open source platforms, since i feel i will be needing the experience within some years when Linux will take over the enterprise networks as Desktop OS. I believe that taking Linux as a desktop environment in the office would increase productivity and security.

The remaining time i develop network/intranet applications, websites and webservices. I ususally develop in one of these languages depending on my needs:

  • Java (J2EE)
  • Visual Basic (.NET)
  • Perl
  • PHP 4.x / 5.x
  • Ruby

Experience

I have tried out various Linux distributions at home such as Debian, SUSE, Mandriva as secondary OS and a load of live cd's such as Gnoppix, Knoppix STD, Helix, Gentoo before i found Ubuntu. I kinda like the way the Ubuntu community sticks together.
