  • Stopped using Windows in 2005 and switched to running Linux full-time
  • Registered Linux user 507531 (remember these days?)

openSUSE

  • openSUSE user since September 2009 (Just before 11.2 release)

Other Distros I Like (but don't really use)

  1. ROSA Fresh
  2. Fedora
  3. Gentoo/Funtoo (This is just too much damn fun to mess with, but I have never actually used Gentoo for getting real work done)


Favorite open source companies


Languages

I really only know Shell with any confidence but I can read and write a bit of something in a few languages. Here are the one's I'll admit to:

  • D - My favorite language, I just wish there were more library's available or it
  • Go - I love Go for so many reasons, but most of all for its pedigree. I don't know it all too well just yet.
  • Ruby - Outside of Shell this is my preferred scripting language. I find Ruby very fun to write.
  • Python - If I can't use Ruby, or there is a better Python library to help me do a thing, I will turn to Python. I love the language, but I am not shy to say that I like Ruby a tad better.
  • Nim - I don't know much Nim, but I always have fun playing with it. I like that it feels like Pascal, Python and D all had a baby.
  • Pascal - I still practice writing things in Pascal just for fun because it was the first language I ever did anything with and there is many good old books out there that use Pascal
  • C# (via .NET Core & Mono on Linux) - I find C# to be a well done and beautiful language if a bit bloated and verbose. I have been playing with Mono for years. C# and Ruby books and docs are what taught me much of what I know about OOP
