<span style="font-size:xx-large;">Ric de France (a.k.a ric_man)</span>
----
I've been visiting the wikipedia web site for a while now, and I even started off an article on [[Portage (software)#Emerge|emerge]], but that was before I knew how to register, or had confidence in what I was doing.
=== Interests ===
* [[Gentoo Linux]]: The ''laziest'' way to administer a Linux system
* [[Open source|Open Source]]: A better way of developing software
* [http://members.optusnet.com.au/ric_on_the_go/linux_with_toshiba_p20/ Linux on a Toshiba P20]: A page I wrote about getting Linux on a Toshiba P20 "Desknote"
* [[Subaru Forester]]: the car I drive
* [[Bicycle]]s: My main form of transport
=== Likes ===
* [[Guinness]] Stout and [[Mountain Goat Beer]] Steam Ale
* Video games on the [[PlayStation 2]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation 5]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and that run on [[Linux]] (with ''[[Lutris]]'').
* Board games, and card games that act like board games.
* Movies with car chases and kung fu fights (eg. ''[[The Matrix (franchise)|The Matrix films]]'')
* [[Hungarian Vizsla]]

=== Dislikes ===
* Wasting money with proprietary software that have (usually better) Open Source equivalents
* Bureaucracy and "over-engineering" a solution
* Inertia in major organisations
* People that stuff up, don't admit it, don't try to fix it, but instead attempt to play it down or cover it up
* People that have closed minds to other possibilities
* People or processes that remove my freedom
