It seems like I've been a computer passionate since always now. And still love it!
I've installed my first Linux distribution in 2002 - Red Hat 7.2. Couldn't even log into it after successful installation ;) . Since then learned a lot about Linux (and computers in general), checked out many distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo and beloved Archlinux. However I ended up using Ubuntu on my server and Mac OS X on laptop.
About the same time that my Linux interests started to develop (around 15 yo) I've also started to learn how to program. First Pascal (of course) but switched to C pretty fast. After a few years (and some other learnt programming languages) I went to the university to start using THE language: Java. And it's been like that since than: Java remains my main programming language but I also do use some other JVM oriented ones.
Being passionate about your profession is a real advantage but can’t spend all the time on the computer! In free time I enjoy hanging out with friends and “fondling” my car.
