I`m an open source enthusiast since the day my Windows machine had a total crash in 2008. The crash was caused by a driver problem of the motherboard. Back then I had some Linux experience from my education, so I switch completely to Ubuntu. The more I worked with Ubuntu I started to tweak it to my liking and in the end I had my personal minimalistic setup with a personal Desktop based on Openbox, SLiM and tint2. ZSH as my interactive shell and vim as my standard editor With the release of Ubuntu 10.04 I switched my desktop to FreeBSD 8.1 and was surprised to see, that it was much easier to get my personal setup running on FreeBSD than on Ubuntu. So since 2010 I`m a happy user of FreeBSD.
