I selected NetBSD as my operating system in 1994. Access to source code allowed me to properly and permanently fix problems in the operating system. NetBSD also has extensive multiplatform support, and my current network includes arm32, i386 and sparc machines. Earlier UNIX-like operating systems I have run include Dell SVR4 and ISC. Open Source Software When I started working on UNIX systems I very soon was introduced to the concept of Open Source (or Public Domain). I am a strong supporter of the concept, and have contributed to numerous efforts over the Internet. I have actively participated in developing several commonly used pieces of software (e.g. BIND since 1993, Sendmail 1990-1998, Emacs 1989-1995). ______________________________________________________________________________ Key Words Languages Finnish: Native.
