I have always been interested in computers, and would find myself hanging out with the Computer Science students instead of the Aviation Management or Business Management students I was a part of. At home and at work I have been largely self-teaching myself using computers starting with Excel and Access with VBA through ASP and SQL at work. Thankfully my current employer values education, and so I have been taking classes and not only learning the technology, but un-learning what I have been doing wrong over the years. At home, though, I have been teaching myself Linux, system administration, networking and the overall method of migrating our system from Windows to Linux. I am involved in the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS.org) I have the opportunity to take what I've learned the hard way and hopefully help others.. I have been enjoying Open Source for a while now, and I am hoping to get a better understanding of the entire model and application.

I use Remmina for SSH so far and never got RDP working. Now I see that it was an issue of what I was connecting to more than it was me with Remmina.
At work, however, if I am somehow using a Linux desktop then this information will be really helpful for me to get into my development (Windows) servers.
I've got ownCloud working right now to a home server. I have the family members running Windows (7 & 10) as well as myself (Linux) synchronizing it right now.
I get tempted to see about making it outside accessible but I am squeamish about it holding my personal life and potentially compromised!
Plus, unless I get it onto some other server, it doesn't help protect my files from house-level catastrophe either. It would just make it so that I could access my files and such while I am at work, through the browser.
