I first heard of Linux around 1994. Shortly thereafter I bought a copy
|
|
of Yggdrasil, which had kernel version 0.99 if I recall. One could either
|
|
install it to hard drive or run it directly from the CD.
|
|
|
|
<P> Until 1987, I worked as musician full- and part-time. My preferred
|
|
musical idiom is modern jazz - John Coltrane, Mile Davis, etc.
|
|
|
|
<P> Graduated 1983, Lawrence Institute of Technology (now Lawrence
|
|
Technological University), Southfield, Mich. B.S.E.E.
|
|
|
|
<P> First personal computers: Commodore 64 w/ TV as monitor, and Apple ][+.
|
|
|
|
<P> 1983 - 1985: field engineer with Wang Laboratories. Bought my first PC
|
|
from them, an 8086 (16 bit XT style), with 256k RAM, 10MB hdd, and
|
|
monochrome graphics in 1984.
|
|
|
|
<P> Worked in an electronics shop and freelanced as programmer approx 4 yrs.
|
|
Picked up some networking and RDBMS experience in an industrial IS dept.,
|
|
approx. 5 yrs; then more freelancing.
|
|
|
|
<P> Since early 1998 have been implementing LAN's (Linux-based, of course)
|
|
and setting up a distributed RDBMS for an educational institution in
|
|
Bogotá and other parts of Colombia, South America.
