About Me

I'm 64, married, living in Egham, Surrey with my wife and two dogs, Willow and Freddy. I retired 4 years ago from a local Aerospace company where I was R&D Engineering Manager. I fist became interested in Linux about a 16+ years ago when describing to one of my software engineers at work, my troubles with a windows re-activation failure following a motherboard replacement in my home desktop (I bricked it!), He handed me a CD with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty and said try this. I installed it on my desktop and dual booted XP Pro and Feisty. Things got serious with Linux when I got a Netbook and during the Ubuntu install late one night, I trashed my Win XP home partition (Gparted MMI could have done with some improvements back then!). I've been totally Ubuntu for the last 14 years. 7 Years ago I converted my wife away from Windows 10 to Ubuntu-Mate. Cheers Dave
