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.

` As a sysadmin at this time, my job also included fixing simple problems, like "I can't print" (Is the printer cable was detached?) and "My Internet is too slow" (Was the bandwidth cut due to network misuse?). ...`
I feel your pain ;)
Good article!
Great story! Sounds like Red Hat is a great place to Intern!
I'm glad for the insight in how it wasn't easy to get used to and how the icebreaker was used to give you more means to know who to collaborate with.
