### How did he become a FOSS developer?
|

|

In 1998 he was running Windows 95 on his brand new computer (Pentium
|

1, 166Mhz) and it randomly crashed. This was very frustrating. So he
|
||||
asked his father, whether there is something else. And his father gave
|
||||
him a set of SCO Unixware floppys and cds and a packet labeled "Suse
|
||||
Linux 11/94". The SCO package had a blue/white cd box and looked nicer,
|
||||
so he began to try to install it to his computer. But it did not work,
|
||||
because SCO did not support IDE disks and the computer had an IDE disk

builtin.</p>

<p>After about two weeks trying around with SCO, he gave up. Frustrated he continued to use the old operating system.<br /></p>

|

|

About one week later he was again extremly frustrated, that this
|
||||
operating system was crashing so often and he remembered, that there
|
||||
was another cd set (one source code, one install cd) to try out. After
|
||||
about 4 hours he had Linux running. That was really really easy

compared to SCO. It felt strange, so new, so fast. And it contains only
