I'm a Muslim Mathematician from Jordan. I'm the main developer of ojuba Linux (www.ojuba.org) a fedora-based Arabic-locale distribution that includes add-ons from livna

I'm a Linux user since 2002. Redhat Linux 8 was the first distribution that I installed on my PC at home and I still have CDs. Later I used older versions like RHL 6.0 and 7.[123] but not on my computer at home. I come to know Linux when a brother named Osama Khayyat sent me Mandriva 9.0 as a gift even though I did not know him before. I'm a big fedora/rpm fan, and I used to love Debian's richness of packages when I did not have internet connection, but I was never able to build a real .deb package.
