Inspiration for using FreeBSD

It’s been my primary server/desktop OS since years. I always liked the
documentation and found things generally easier to achieve than with
Linux. I was also fascinated by ports. At the time I was manually
downloading solaris packages from “sun freeware” when someone showed me
ports. I think it is no surprise that I switched to FreeBSD. I always
found the community to be very friendly and helpful. Finally with pkgng
I feel the same sense of excitement all over again.

Who was your first contact in FreeBSD

Pav Lucistnik (pav)

Roman Bogorodskiy (novel)

be embarrassing.

Do you have a hobby outside of FreeBSD

I am a passionate motorcycler. I love riding my motorcycle in the more
mountainous regions of Europe. After a long day at work you often see
me on my motorcycle riding towards the sunset. I also have a
fascination for the nordic culture and literature. I’m taking Swedish
lessons since 2011.

Claim to Fame

3 weeks in a 20 year old Audi A4. Maintaining 195 ports and keeping
them all up to date and working.
