 Operating systems always have been my favourite computer
 related topic, so I know and use many:
 

- * '''Linux''' - I use or have used several LinuxDistros extensively
- for a long time. 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).
+ * **Linux** -- I've been packaging software in several LinuxDistros, including
+ Fedora and Ubuntu. I've also put together and distributed custom Linux distributions
+ for embedded projects, for the OLPC and for the AmigaComputer.

 
 

- * '''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.
+ * **NetBsd** -- I've become an official developer with commit access around the time
+ NetBSD 1.0 came out. I created a custom NetBSD distribution on CD called the
+ AmigaUnixCompendium. See also OpenSourceDeveloperRole for some of my contributions.

- * '''MacOsX''' - I know this system quite well and have been

- started making some steps back from their previous OpenSource
- policy, showing lack of cooperation and disrespect for the
- OpenDarwin developers.

+ started taking some steps back from their previous OpenSource
+ commitment and eventually got rid of 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.
+ * **AmigaOs** -- I've been programming a lot on the Amiga in early
+ '90s, mostly as a freelance developer.  I expecially praised its
+ unique system and OS architecture, therefore I reused many of its
+ best ideas in my EmbeddedDeveloperRole projects.

 
 

+ * **MicrosoftWindows** -- I've been developing for Windows with
+ scarce enthusiasm since Windows 3.1 upto Windows 2000.  I'm familiar
+ with most of the Win32 APIs and concepts, including GUI design
+ with common controls and MFC, threading, overlapped I/O, events, COM,
+ ODBC, DAO, VisualBasic, VBA, DirectMedia and DirectDraw.
+ For new Windows development, today I recommend using portability
+ layers and framwworks such as Qt, Cygwin, MingW.
