About Me

MY STORY

What does “tetraetila” mean?

Nothing! It’s just a nickname I chose when I started studying the Linux Operating System. My first distribution was Mandrake Linux. I spent a lot of time trying to install drivers; there was no support, only forums and people like me searching for solutions. Things are more easier today 🙂 I remember the HSP56 Modem and others; those were tough times… Plug and Play? A distant dream… If you had 3 MB of memory and a 14400 bps internal modem, you were: The Guy!

What about Gonzo? I used this picture in my first online profiles in the Internet, on Foruns, Geocities, Netscape and other early internet services…

Self-taught and a generalist I’ve been on this path for long, long time… since MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, Lotus 123 and more… BASIC was my first contact with a programming language. If I don’t know something, I try to learn!
