I have so much to learn and I enjoy doing that. I have used various Linux distro's apart from my own since 1994. I started like many others with Slackware and SUSE as I was living in Germany. I spent many years professionally with RedHat (I do still hold a valid RHCE) established the first New Zealand RedHat mirror in 1998 and am now with SUSE again. I probably tried over one hundred different distro's and SUSE is IMHO #1. | ||

My name is Andreas Girardet and I work for Novell as a Consultant Architect for Linux. You can reach me on girardet@gmail.com.
I founded the "Yoper" distribution and am also its former lead maintainer and am now dedicated within the openSUSE project to make SUSE fast and furiously an even better Linux desktop for the windows migrant and the demanding geek alike. I believe that Linux on the Desktop is ready if packaged correctly.
I have also written How to setup a build server and How to setup SUSE 10.0 under xen in SUSE 9.3 I am the maintainer of the openSUSE 1CD iso's available at 1 CD install.
A bit more about me:
