Interviews

Hi Samuel, welcome by Mageia italian users. First of all, could you please start by introducing yourself?

Hello. I’m Samuel Verschelde, 29 year-old, living in Lyon (France).

How did you first become interested in Linux?

I discovered linux during my studies, in 2003. It was exciting to discover a whole new world I didn’t know, having only used computers with Microsoft systems on them for many years. The first distribution I installed was Debian potatoe, and it probably wasn’t the best choice for a beginner not familiar with unix command line Smile

Then I used Red Hat for some time and finally settled to Mandrake in 2004.

How did you discover Mageia and why did you decide to join the project?

Rest here
