It all startet with that marvellous simple Z80 based home computer and BASIC... sigh.

Having heavily programmed there using Assembly language too (hence the nick) and knowing nearly every single byte I came to the PC platform and programmed there in DOS and Windows using Turbo Pascal, Assembler and later Delphi.
After three years of professional programming Windows stuff I became an UNIX administrator and fell in love with Linux the same time.
In the meantime I've been doing UNIX and network administration for more than 10 years, mainly on Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX machines on the job and with Linux at home where I still use Windows only to play some of my favourite games, mainly RPG and strategy.
