I've been interested since 1991 (though I'm a lot less up to date than before). When I was a student, I even wrote a couple of articles for the magazine _AnimaniA_. - - -### Linux and Free software - - -I've been interested in Linux and Free software for a long time, since I was still in university. I like the fact that with Linux the control is complete, and I actually like to tinker with the operating system (I used to do that in the Amiga days, when I owned an A4000/040). After trying Slackware and Red Hat, I settled for [Mandriva Linux](http://www.mandrivalinux.com) for a long time. After being dissatisfied with the choices of the company behind it (while the distribution is good by itself) I switched to [Kubuntu](http://www.kubuntu.org) (the [KDE](http://www.kde.org) version of [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com)), which is now my primary operating system (both at work and at home) -I'm interested mostly in free (as in speech) alternatives to programs that are now widely used on Windows, but also to smaller software that enables me to boost my productivity. I like the spirit of the GPL v2, that enables free sharing **and** improvement, therefore boosting competition. Though I'm mostly an user, I've been contributing sometimes, the most recent contribution being a patch for the [Gaim](http://gaim.sourceforge.net) instant messaging software to fix some display issues using the Italian language. You can sometimes find me in _#kubuntu_ on the Freenode IRC network. - -I am also learning the [Python programming languge](http://python.org).
