Jarod C. Wilson

I've been using Linux since 1997, circa Red Hat Linux 4.2 and very early LinuxPPC releases. Only dabbled mostly, until the Red Hat Linux 6.2 era, when I got a job somewhere that used Red Hat extensively. I worked there for about two years, towards the tail end of which I took the Red Hat Certified Engineer exam (and passed the first try -- this test is no joke, it ain't the MCSE). I also maintain a little HOWTO document for setting up a MythTV box running on Fedora Core 1 (soon to be FC2).

As for my personal choice of Linux distribution, yes, I'm pretty much a Red Hat guy, love it or hate it. Almost all my professional work with Linux has been with Red Hat, so I'm just comfortable with it. I like Gentoo and SuSE quite a bit also though. I've tried umpteen other distributions, but those are my favorites.
