“Here’s a little story I was asked to write… It’s about my
entry into the Linux world, and my inspiration for working on
open source software development

“I am interested in any feedback, positive, negative, and more
importantly constructive… Please give it a look see.”

“Maybe others out there in the open source community can also
contribute their stories!”
