Rick has run freely-redistributable Unixen since 1992, having been roped
|
|
in by first 386BSD, then Linux. Having found that either one
|
|
<a href="http://linuxmafia.com/cabal/os-suck.html">sucked less</a>, he blew
|
|
away his last non-Unix box (OS/2 Warp) in 1996. He specialises in clue
|
|
acquisition and delivery (documentation & training), system
|
|
administration, security, WAN/LAN design and administration, and
|
|
support. He helped plan the LINC Expo (which evolved into the first
|
|
LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, in San Jose), Windows Refund Day, and
|
|
several other rabble-rousing Linux community events in the San Francisco
|
|
Bay Area. He's written and edited for IDG/LinuxWorld, SSC, and the
|
|
USENIX Association; and spoken at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo and
|
|
numerous user groups.
|
|
|
|
<P> His first computer was his dad's slide rule, followed by visitor access
|
|
to a card-walloping IBM mainframe at Stanford (1969). A glutton for
|
|
punishment, he then moved on (during high school, 1970s) to early HP
|
|
timeshared systems, People's Computer Company's PDP8s, and various
|
|
of those they'll-never-fly-Orville microcomputers at the storied
|
|
Homebrew Computer Club -- then more Big Blue computing horrors at
|
|
college alleviated by bits of primeval BSD during UC Berkeley summer
|
|
sessions, and so on. He's thus better qualified than most, to know just
|
|
how much better off we are now.
|
|
|
|
<P> When not playing Silicon Valley dot-com roulette, he enjoys
|
|
long-distance bicycling, helping run science fiction conventions, and
|
|
concentrating on becoming an uncarved block.
