My Way to openSUSE
Background
I never was a friend of MS Windows (although some of my friends gave me the dirt on it), but I accepted it and learned how to eliminate the bugs and unnecessary RAM wastage. One of my friends (STS301) installed Ubunto nearly one year ago and had quite a lot of troubles with it. That put me off using Linux too. Moreover I thought that there are not enough applications available for daily use as in MS Windows. As I now know I was definitive wrong!
Getting Started
In mid 2009 I had much to do with Linux (a.o. Ubunto and openSUSE). I recognized that Linux is not as bad as I always thought. So I partitioned my harddrive and installed openSUSE 11.1 with GNOME 2.24. At first I had some troubbles partitioning my harddrive, but it finaly worked!
My first impression was that I did not find anything I know from Windows. But after some internet and library investigation I was able to configure my Laptop and use openSUSE regularly. At the time I think I am well enough to use openSUSE at everyday's work as well. I was astonished how easy it is to download, update and/or upgrade software. I had always thought that it is very hard to find software that fits. --> CONGRATULATIONS to this really good software!
My work for openSUSE
As you have read in the article, I have not used openSUSE as long as others. But after some book researches I think I am quite well.
My first job at openSUSE was (and is) in the openSUSE Marketing Team. I am translator from English to German and I am Event-Editor.
Since 1.9.2009 I also work as openSUSE Ambassador.
