Description

I've been using GNU/Linux (mainly Ubuntu, some Fedora) for about two years. I became interested while trying to bring life back to an old PC. My first experience with computers was programming on an IBM System/370 using punch cards and magnetic tapes, so I've seen computing come a long way.

I never thought much about free versus proprietary systems, but seeing proprietary systems becoming more restrictive and seeing more non-free software becoming part of GNU/Linux software freedom became more important. I found Trisquel through the FSF list of fully free distrbutions.

I live in the USA on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and have yet to meet another GNU/Linux user in person or see a system that's not a screenshot. I am hoping that will change.
