Profile

I am a leading expert of the united dispatching control board of the power supply systems of the Northwest of Russia.

My sphere of activity - introduction of various Linux-technologies and monitoring of our Linux administrators. Specificity of our system - a plenty of servers of constant highest availability in some heterogeneous structure (both Linux and other OSes are used together).

Presence of skilled engineers and full duplicating allow us to use Fedora even on critical servers.

In Linux since 1996.
First patch for open-source in 1995 (gcc)
Using RedHat/Fedora since RH-5.0
Red Hat Certified Engineer (RH9 , RHEL5 )

In my work I use Linux desktop only (all the career). I still like the ancient unix ifaces (command line, curses, vi, mc) because my first workstation had only serial ttys :)

My additional work is a public support of a computer center of Saint-Petersburg state technical university (various Linux-solutions)
