Hi,
My name is Sreejit and I work as a Java developer. I have been using
one or the other Fedora versions as my primary OS for the last few
years. I started learning linux about 5 or 6 years back when I got my
first computer. In fact that's when I really started working with
computers. Before that I rarely got my hands on one.
I started of with RH 9 in a multi-boot environment with various
windows versions. Soon I found it easier to keep Linux as my primary
OS, and use windows for playing around with. I should mention here
that having a corrupt memory module perhaps helped speed up my
adoption of Linux :). There were times when the RAM was acting up and
I could not run windows for more than 10 to 15 minutes, while I
regularly managed to run RH9 for hours together, without problems, and
with a whole lot more applications than I usually run on windows. I
went on to try out various Fedora versions as and when I got hold of
them. Though I did try out other distros, I have almost always used
either RH9 or one of the Fedora versions, either at home or at work.
I still have PC's running RH9 at my office.
When I attempted my first Linux installation I did not know a thing
about Linux, not even the basic commands. Now I am at a stage where I
am pretty comfortable with the shell. I can carry out basic system
administration, and have some experience with configuring servers. I
am not shy of playing around with configuration files and when I run
into problems I usually manage to find answers with the help of Google.
I have been enjoying the fruits of other peoples hard work, be it the
wonderful people who build and maintain all the open source stuff, or
the kind souls who offer help and advice on the many forums, for quite
a while. Now I guess its time to start paying back in any way that I
can help. I have not been an active participant on any forum or
project till now and so am new to this. I would love to help in the
development of Fedora, since its what I myself use.
Since I am new to this, I would appreciate any help in getting started.
My IRC nick is sreejit.
Regards,
Sreejit.
