Hello! I am a computer lab instructor that holds a CompTIA Security Plus Certification and years of experience with various operating systems. I learned about Fedora (Core, at the time..) when Red Hat Linux was first discontinued back in 2003. I started with Fedora Core 4 on legacy hardware. I presently use Fedora 22 to demonstrate how useful open source systems can be and enjoy working with it.
