People of openSUSE: Rupert Horstkötter

This week the openSUSE Project announced the launch of forums.opensuse.org, a merger of the three largest openSUSE forums. Continuing the openSUSE Forums euphoria we present you the Project Manager - Rupert Horstkötter.

When and why did you start using openSUSE/SUSE Linux?
After playing around with LiveCDs for some time, I finally decided to install Linux on my harddrive instead of Windows XP. I tried out a lot of distributions, but always came back to SUSE Linux/openSUSE as it’s simply the best distribution out there, at least IMHO. SUSE Linux 9.0 was the first version I’ve ever used. I’m currently writing off an openSUSE 11.0 RC1 installation and I love it.

When did you join the openSUSE community and what made you do that?
I joined the openSUSE community during my internship (from November 2007 to February 2008) in product management at Novell’s Nuremberg offices. Prior to that time I never contributed to the openSUSE project.
