Proficient in Windows, (having supported and used it since the days of DOS), as well as becoming proficient in using and supporting the office suite. I then started experimenting with fledgling Linux operating System. Starting with manually installing "Red Hat" Linux in the 1990's I then moved on the the openSuse Tumbleweed operating system. A bleeding edge system that has matured into a moderately easy system to install and use.
