==== Me ====

I'm currently entering my final year at [[https://www.umass.edu/|UMass]] where I'm
majoring in Mathematics (concentrating in Pure Math) with a minor in computer
science.  I've been using %%FreeBSD%% since 1996 when I became a sysadmin for
a small ISP in New Hampshire.  I've been somewhat of an OS junkie, having used
every OS I can get my hands on (Some in emulated form):

  * %%FreeBSD%%
  * Windows (3.1,95,98,NT,2000,Me,XP,2003)
  * %%NetBSD%%
  * 4.2-BSD
  * 3-BSD
  * AT&T UNIX V6
  * Linux (Fedora,Debian,Slackware,Archlinux)
  * HP-UX
  * Solaris
  * %%SunOS%%
  * (Open)VMS
  * ITS
  * Tenex
  * Mac (OS %%<%%X and OS-X)
  * Many, many more

Although I'm still searching for the //perfect// OS, the BSD family
is, in my opinion, the best of the UNIX variants.  This, combined with
my desire to descend into the guts of the OS, has led to my participation
in Google's summer of code.
