### 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,
