Favorite season: No preference.
Motto: Have a lot of fun… (at least that’s what /etc/motd tells me)
Please introduce yourself!
I’m 21 years old, British, and a student studying Computer Science at the University of Warwick. I’ve just completed a work placement year doing software development.
Tell us about the background to your computer use.
Usual story: I’ve been using computers for most of my life.
When and why did you start using openSUSE/SUSE Linux?
I’ve been using SUSE Linux since 7.0 (benjiweber.co.uk/screenshots/suse/suse7/ for those interested in how it was back then). I got a boxed set and installed it after reading about Linux in magazines. I was impressed at how easy it was compared to windows and havn’t really looked back.
When did you join the openSUSE community and what made you do that?
I discovered the #suse irc channel on irc.freenode.net about 3 years ago, met other community members and gradually became more involved as I learnt more and so could help more.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
