terdon♦
(moderator)

Elected moderator on Unix & Linux and Ask Ubuntu, pro-tem moderator on Bioinformatics.

I've been using Linux since the late '90s and have gone through a variety of distributions. At one time or another, I've been a user of Mandrake, SuSe, openSuSe, Fedora, RedHat, Ubuntu, Mint, Linux Mint Debian Edition and, at the moment, Arch.

My Linux expertise, if I can grace it with such a lofty title, is mostly on manipulating text and regular expressions since that represents a large chunk of my daily work.
