I have been using Fedora and Linux in general since Fedora core 3 and have slowly learned several tricks along the way.
I am by no means what I would call a Guru or expert of any kind but I do know how to solve minor issues that plaque me most often. Mainly permission issues or the like.
I am asked alot what my views are on people leaving Windows for Linux and never turning back. I often reply To each his own. If you can do what you need to do in Windows then use it if not and you find Linux more suitable for your needs then by all means use Linux. I guess you could say that while I use Linux and Windows both I prefer Linux over Windows for several reasons such as Speed reliability stability and so on.
I like to hang out in the Fedora Forums as well as occationaly using xchat to access the IRC
Educational Background
I am currently enrolled in a bachelors degree to become a Network Administrator. This degree will require various degrees of knowledge on my part most of which is directly related to Linux. I feel this will only strengthen my resolve to learn as much as I can about Fedora and Linux in general.
