Just a guy, living in the now, enjoying experimenting and using the various free and open-source alternatives available. My primary machine is a dual-boot Xubuntu 11.10/Kubuntu 11.10. I also have a dual-boot laptop with Xubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7 and a secondary desktop with Lubuntu 11.10/Windows XP.
