Pascal V. Calarco (pcalarco)

I am Associate University Librarian, Discovery & Digital Services at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Most of our infrastructure runs on VMWare ESX servers in the Libraries hosted on 25 RHEL and Debian-based linux servers. I have been using Fedora as my everyday desktop OS since Fedora Core 2, and promote Linux with everyone I run into. I am most interested in desktop uses of Fedora.
