I occasionally do minor contributions to some of + them. I've also put together and distributed a custom Linux + distribution targeted at the AmigaComputer as part of the AmigaUnixCompendium project. + (no, by Linux I don't mean GNU/Linux, I dislike this name even + though I agree with the FreeSoftwareFoundation in general). + + * '''NetBsd''' - I've been using BSDs since 0.9. I even + made a NetBSD distribution for the AmigaComputer called + the AmigaUnixCompendium. See also OpenSourceDeveloperRole + for some contributions I made. + + * '''Sun Solaris''' - I've been using it since Solaris 7, but a + few years ago I've lost interest in it because of lack of + development. Besides building hundreds of GNU and other + packages to replace almost all of Sun's userland, I did port + the early versions of KDE 1.x and 2.x to Solaris with quite + some success. + + * '''MacOsX''' - I know this system quite well and have been + using as a user and developer until mid-2006, when Apple + started making some steps back from their previous OpenSource + policy, showing lack of cooperation and disrespect for the + OpenDarwin developers. + + * '''AmigaOs''' - I've been using and developing a lot on the + Amiga in earlier '90s, mostly as a freelance developer. I + expecially prised its system architecture and the OS architecture, + therefore I used many of its best ideas in several EmbeddedDeveloperRole + projects. + + * '''MicrosoftWindows''' - I've been using and developing for + Windows with little enthusiasm since Windows 3.1 upto Windows 2000. + I know most of the WIN32 APIs and concepts, including: GUI design + with common controls and MFC, threading, asynchronous I/O, COM, + database access, VisualBasic and VBA, DirectMedia and DirectDraw. + But as of today, I'd recommend doing any new Windows development + using portable tools such as Cygwin or MingW along with portability + layers such as Qt or Gtk. + -- 2.25.1
