Nine years of using DOS and at that time Windows led him to start experimenting with GNU/Linux in 1998. Afterwards two years of dual-booting Red Hat and Windows, and next Slackware and Windows, he began using the Debian distribution as a single-boot system for his personal use. Since at that time he has written widely about the use of both free and open source software, and the people behind the code.His personal blog is titled Irregular Expression.
