My name is Nic.
I am from Oklahoma, USA.
I am a first-year Software Engineer / Programmer (as of Spring 2006). I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a BS in Computer Sciences and am working toward my MS in Computer Science (as well as working).
I'm hopelessly interested in Linux (Gentoo is my current preferred flavor) much to my wife's dismay. She hates that I'm reloading our laptop computer with Gentoo.
My primary intersest in Phoenix Network is education. I just want to learn as much as I can about Linux and using it efficiently/productively. So, teach me all you know so I can make my wife even madder at me... I also have some professional interest as well, since my job requires that I use and work with Linux quite often (I actually opted to load my work desktop with Linux instead of Win... ewww unlike most of my co-workers).
