17, AS, Linux user since 2008, currently using Fedora, interested in computers and some kind of Finnish translator.

# About me

My name is Mika Suomalainen. I am probably more known with my nickname Mkaysi. I am seventeen years old, even though people often think that I am older which can probably be explained with my Asperger's syndrome. I started using Linux in 2008 and the distribution was Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. I am currently using Fedora. I am interested in computers. I am also some kind of Finnish translator.

## Asperger's Syndrome (AS)

Asperger's Syndrome causes me different kinds of problems, but has also positive things. For example, I can easily remember things which are related to computers, like how I usually set up some operating system. More about it here.

## Linux

As I said, I started using Linux in 2008 and the distribution was Ubuntu. But Ubuntu wasn't the first distribution, that I used, it was the first distribution which I installed.

### Damn Small Linux

I started testing Linux using Damn Small Linux on USB stick. I didn't do very much with it and I don't think that you can do very much with it when compared to some other distribution.

### Ubuntu

Ubuntu was the first distribution that I installed. The release was 8.04 Hardy Heron. I stayed fully in Ubuntu some years before I got involved with Limnoria and that was when I started trying other distributions.

### Debian

People in Limnoria got me to try Debian Sid (unstable) and I liked it, because it usually had newer packages than Ubuntu and I used it a long time. I did ever manage to crash it if we don't count installing closed nVidia display driver and using Debian with higher priority than is sane.

### Arch Linux

I also tried Arch Linux and ArchBang, but I didn't get positive experience with them. My experiences were just "install, upgrade, crash" multiple times.

### Linux Mint Debian Edition

I used LMDE with netbook for some time, but I wasn't able to get systemd into it when I upgraded it to Debian Sid.

## Fedora

I once tried to install Fedora to one computer which had problem with current Linux kernel in Ubuntu (>10.04, I don't remember which), but as Fedora had the same kernel, it didn't succeed. This issue was solved by installing Ubuntu (>10.04, I still don't remember which) Alpha release.

I didn't have any interest towards Fedora until recently when teacher at my current school started recommending it and we had to install it. At the end my interest towards Fedora awake when I noticed features which weren't taught, delta packages and fastest-mirror.

Delta packages allow downloading only changes in packages instead of whole packages and fastest-mirror's name says what it does.

Of course delta packages exist with Debian and Ubuntu too, but they aren't used by default and they are harder to use, aren't officially supported, have only one mirror. In Fedora just install updates and they are used automatically.

The fastest-mirror is also with Ubuntu and Debian, but not enabled by default and it's server side. With Ubuntu there is one dynamic file on mirrors.ubuntu.com that contains the list of near mirrors and with Debian there is Debian which is server side too. If either of these goes down, you can't upgrade.

Fedora also has promise to try to keep the latest upstream versions, so I got the new Enigmail faster than I would got with Debian and Ubuntu.

## Contributing

### Limnoria

Limnoria is an IRC bot which is fork of popular IRC bot known as [Supybot]

I have translated Limnoria to Finnish, but as I wasn't experienced in translating, the quality is varying. If you use Limnoria, please report issues with the translations and I will take a look at them.

### Ubuntu

I am on some of Ubuntu's IRC channels and mailing lists and have helped when I have been able to help. I am also member of Ubuntu Youth which is nowadays little inactive.

### Debian

I wasn't so much on their IRC channels, because they are at OFTC instead of freenode, but I am on some of their mailing lists and I have helped with some problems there.

### Fedora

I am on some of Fedora's IRC channels on freenode and IRCnet and have helped with some problems. I was also got to edit Linux.fi (in Finnish) wiki's Fedora pages which were outdated before we fixed them.

### Linux.fi

As I said previously, I helped updating pages about Fedora at Linux.fi, but I also updated some other pages which weren't related only to Fedora.
