مَن أنا	I'm Geophysicist who has heard of and used Linux long before commercial advertisements of Beowulf-type clusters started filling the trade journals and magazines. [ Linux has become the main enabler, in price/performance terms, for CPU-intensive algorithms such as Pre-Stack Depth Migration ] Programming skills are limited, ancient and 'eccentric' by FLOSS standards: Fortran 77 (back in my uni years); Visual Basic for Excel (useful at work); and since my line of work is largely unix based, a good working knowledge of bash, sed, awk and her sisters. C, I can't. And Java is an island in South East Asia. Linux is my OS of choice, concurrently running on several boxes at home. That it can still breathe life into a nearly 7-year old Pentium 133 as a ipchains router / firewall / NFS server speaks plenty for the operating system's versatiltiy and utility. All my machines are multi-boot, often with more than one linux distro. The ones in daily use are: Slackware-based Vector Linux on the mentioned server, SuSE on my main desktop PC (Athlon XP), Mandrake on my secondary NFS server/desktop PC (Apple iMac G3), Gentoo on my notebook (Apple Powerbook G3). I particularly don't like to collect hardware. Yet I do find that once I install linux as a last minute experiment on soon-to-be-retired machine, it quickly finds a niche for itself on my expanding home network. Machines don't die.. they run linux ;-) I could contribute to the translation teams on Arabeyes. However, knowing myself only too well, these are likely to be sporadic bursts of activity. I am though particularly interested is in spreading the word as well as know-how, so I have initially classified myself under Public Relations. With time, I hope to contribute in all possible manners.
