| Sean Hall is 23 y.o. | [[schall@westnet.com.au|Sean Hall ]] <html> has been using FreeBSD and NetBSD since 1998, and playing with various Linux distributions since the mid-90s.<br> |
| and currently having a holiday after he quit his last job :) | He is a System Administator and looks (or has looked after), Solaris, Linux, AIX, Tru64 and SCO.<br> |
| He's lived in Sydney for about 12 months now after moving here from Melbourne (by the way, does it ever stop raining here?). :) | In his spare time (???), Sean enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, programming, running and riding motorbikes far too quickly. |
| Sean's only been running FreeBSD for about 3 months now, but was using Linux before that. | </p> |
| He swapped over for a few reasons, one of them was that he found FreeBSD a lot easier to use. | </html> |
| He moved here without finishing his degree so he is considering returning to Uni fulltime, but thinks he may just end up working fulltime and studying parttime. | |

| Sam started on FreeBSD some time around 1998. Becoming a ports committer in April 2005 provided an excellent tool for avoiding university assignments. Regardless, he managed to finish his degree in 2007 and is now working at NASA control in Perth.</p> | Sam started on FreeBSD some time around 1998.

| [[http://dodgydivetours.blogspot.com.au/|Andrew Perry]]: sysadmin for a small council on the south coast. while predominantly a microsoft site i usually have at least 1 or 2 FreeBSD boxes because sometimes there is just some things that you can't do without an operating system that comes with built in useful tools. my boss said we should have a few of our guys more familiar with open source stuff, so i thought that if there is the vaguest chance we're going to introduce any open source operating systems into my workplace, i'm gonna make sure it's FreeBSD. | [[http://dodgydivetours.blogspot.com.au/|Andrew Perry]]: sysadmin for a small council on the south coast. while predominantly a microsoft site i usually have at least 1 or 2 FreeBSD boxes because sometimes there is just some things that you can't do without an operating system that comes with built in useful tools. my boss said we should have a few of our guys more familiar with open source stuff, so i thought that if there is the vaguest chance we're going to introduce any open source operating systems into my workplace, i'm gonna make sure it's FreeBSD. |
