After his first experiences with a Sinclair ZX-80 (with a wopping 1
|
|
KB RAM) when in 9th grade - at least, that's what it would be called
|
|
in the US - Frank was addicted to computers.
|
|
|
|
<P> When he first got to play with Linux (an SLS distribution with kernel
|
|
0.98.xx), he was impressed, but - having no experience with Unices at
|
|
all - had no real use for it. Writing applications for small companies
|
|
and tutoring students in IT-related classes meant using the standard
|
|
(DOS-based) software.
|
|
|
|
<P> Things changed when he got a new PC. Now he could play with other OSes
|
|
on the old PC. Kernel 1.2.10 being available by now, Linux had gotten
|
|
much more stable and thus much more fun to experiment with. After a
|
|
short while, Linux was the main OS on the new machine too - DOS being
|
|
hidden behind a dual boot that was hardly ever used anymore.
|
|
|
|
<P> After having had various office jobs, Frank accepted a job as Unix
|
|
system administrator with the biggest Dutch ICT service provider -
|
|
now, after a merger, officially a French company - in August 1998.
|
|
|
|
<P> Nowadays Frank is working at the offices of a large (Dutch)
|
|
multinational, where he is responsible for various servers running
|
|
HP-UX and Linux (both RedHat and Mandrake), where he wears his
|
|
RHCE-pin every now and again, to remind some of his co-workers who are
|
|
MCSE's, that there is more than just "the other OS".
|
|
|
|
<P> At home, when Frank is not on the phone with his girlfriend in BC,
|
|
Canada, playing backgammon online or working on his website (about
|
|
books), he experiments with various distributions, currently using
|
|
Mandrake on his main machine.
|
|
|
|
<P> Frank lives in the Netherlands.
