I'm from Belfast but live in Dublin, Ireland where I'm employed in IT Business Management .

Ubuntu/Linux I have been using Ubuntu and open source software exclusively since v8.04. My kids only understanding of Windows are, they are big holes in the wall with glass. I enjoy helping to convert my family, friends and colleagues to the world of Linux.
