"Clem: I've been passionate about Linux since the early days. I
started using it as my main operating system in 1996. In the
following years I did a lot of distro-hopping and I spent a lot of
time helping other users. In 2006 I started selling reviews and
tutorials to linuxforums.org (my articles are still available here:
http://www.linuxforums.org/bio/author/Clement+Lefebvre/) and I
eventually decided to publish them myself, and so the name of my
website at the time was linuxmint.com. The more distributions I
reviewed the more I felt something was missing and I started to
develop a very precise idea of what I would personally like to see
in a desktop operating system."
