I have been a member of WPLUG since 2009, and a Linux user since 1999 when I did my first Debian installation in college. Back then, my primary OS was Windows 98 SE, but I started experimenting with alternative operating systems in my spare time as well . Back in my college years, my favorite alternative OS was BeOS, but unfortunately it was a closed-source commercial project, and its source died once the IP was acquired by Palm, Inc. That experience truly taught me the value of open source software, and fortunately BeOS was essentially re-implemented in open source in the form of OpenBeos (now [http://www.haiku-os.org Haiku]). | I have been a member of WPLUG since 2009, and a Linux user since 1999 when I did my first Debian installation in college.
