I'm a professional troubleshooter (a.k.a. IT Guy) who has been using Linux as his main desktop OS for several years.  

I'm more technical than the "average user" by quite a ways, but I like to think that there's no reason why Linux and Free/Open Source Software can't find a home on the average user's desktop as a part of their everyday computing life.  

I love to play around with technology, and I love to talk about it, so stick around and let me know what you're thinking.
