One more arch monkey to dance for the ebuild maintainers and users we have Andreas "nativemad" Schürch from Reiden, Switzerland. I'll just let him speak for himself: I've got a c64 when I was around 6 years old and wasn't able to quit this addiction so far. ;-) Since around 10 years, I'm working as a sysadmin for quite a large company within the swiss IT-team (~400 users nationwide and +70'000 globally within a single ADS). I'm responsible for our linux-stuff and some windows also (citrix, mssql, lotus notes and so on). I run a private serverfarm (everything runs on kvm, so it's probably a cloud nowadays;-) and host my and a few friends projects there. This is mostly just for fun with the execption of a few customers. It's called nativenet, that's also where my nick-prefix comes from, as my friends just call me mad. I use gentoo exclusively for about 7 years now. I used SuSE before, but never really got satisfied... I like snow-, skate-, and wakeboarding, whenever the weather and my health allows it. You know, computer people are quite fragile! ;-) With a bunch of friends, I've rented a house (probably the oldest in the village) where we meet us quite frequently to play games and have fun together (actually, the others are often playing games while I do some linux stuff, if we are not occupied with drinking beer together! ;-) Don't wear your new toy out too quickly, Petteri
