Hmm, hope we get this...
I've been using Unix since around 1985 (SunOS) with a 10 year diversion into HPUX (9,10,11) before finding Linux around 1995. I started with RHL 4.2 and have been using it continuously since. I met Russ through our local LUG where I've presented on numerous topics. I've done IT in electronics manufacturing, healthcare, financials and general consulting. Since 2002 I've been employed by a large financial company as a senior engineer specializing in Linux. I'm currently the technical lead for the global Linux Engineering team.
I've used CentOS since the first spin came out. I lurk/post in the IRC channels as wildross
