Ubuntu/Linux user since about 2005. I do graphic design and creative work mostly.

I use Ubuntu for work, for play, and for communication. I am absolutely not interested in the technologies underneath it all. In other words, I try to use my computer for doing things, not do things for my computer.

I'm a strong advocate of open source software and the principles behind it.

Current hardware (aka the sources of all the problems that bring me here):

Desktop: Ubuntu 12.10 Gnome Classic, Intel i5, 4GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 9600, dual monitor

Laptop: Ubuntu 12.10 Gnome Classic (no effects), Asus Zenbook, i5, 4GB RAM

Media Server: Mythbuntu 12.10, Intel Q4, 4GB RAM
