In 1996/97, I finished 3 work-terms with
Nortel Networks in Ottawa.
These work-terms are required by the university's
internship program.My interested included hiking/backpacking, snowboarding, photography and many others.
Here is a recent photo of myself.

inux is a UNIX-like OS that run on PCs. It's powerful and yet best of all:
FREE! I'm using it at home, and the workterms I finished at Nortel were
also Linux related. But be warned, it's not for novice and the faint of
heart. The learning curve to Linux is quite steep at the beginning. An
overview of Linux
is here. If you want to know is Linux for you, check
here.
I started using Linux dated back in 1995, my 1st distribution Slackware 3.0 on CD. It is a very stable and powerful OS for me.
So, everyone have watched Titanic now (I guess). You probably didn't know, the visual effect in this movie was done on a bunch of DEC Alpha workstations running Linux!! Check this out.

Do you know FreeBSD was used to produce the special effects in The Matrix? The rendering farm was put together in a couple of days. Now, this is powerful! Check this out! |
I hope you like my homepage. Enjoy!
Ha! They finally have a Linux version!!!

Yahoo account. Suggestions and comments are welcome, but flames will go to /dev/null.
