He first came across Linux in 1999 when he installed RedHat Linux 6.2.
He started to use Linux extensively only after RedHat 7.0. A big fan of
KDE and GNOME he is also now discovering the power of the command
prompt. Everyday he discovers new tricks in his favorite editor ViM. He
firmly believes Linux can make it on the desktop.

watching movies, visiting homepages and crosswords.
