When did you first start using Linux and why?
I think I start using Linux in october 2003, by an heavy day :D. I don't know why I start using Linux, maybe because "Blue" is not my favorit color and to much blue screens it's not good for ealth. The first time was with an Mandrake 9.0 on the laboratory of my hight school. And the firts thing I love in an Linux System was this. After this I discover all the Free Software and Open Source Movement. And I just love it for is ideas. Today it's my first passion.
How long have you been using the SMGL distribution?
I use SourceMage since Jully 2004 ... and it change my "Computing" life. I met Unet in Febuary 2004 during a training course( I don't know if it's the good word ) with the Eole Team. In jully I went back to Eole Project for my first computing job. I was looking for a good distribution to get more experience with Linux. Unet introduce myself to SourceMage and I simply fall in love with this distribution. After this I work 15 days to get an clean system on my computer, and since this days I continue with SourceMage on my main computer.

Tell us a little bit about yourself. Education/Career/Skills?
Ho you ask me a lot ... When I was a child I saw an black screen with green letters on a TV show since this day I'm bewitched by computing.
