Get to Know the Author
Adam K Dean has used Linux since 2005, when he rendered his first computer unbootable during an Ubuntu installation. Undeterred, a subsequent installation was successful, notwithstanding the odd graphical and Wi-Fi issues.
Between bouts of writing about himself in the third person, Adam now runs his own consultancy offering Linux expertise to a range of clients, though he hasn't forgotten his origins, and still occasionally renders computers unbootable.
