Ric de France (a.k.a ric_man)

I've been visiting the wikipedia web site for a while now, and I even started off an article on 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: A better way of developing software
 * Linux on a Toshiba P20: A page I wrote about getting Linux on a Toshiba P20 "Desknote"
 * Subaru Forester: the car I drive
 * Bicycles: 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 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
