About the Author :
Thomas Hamilton is an avid promoter of all things Linux. He first became a user of Ubuntu in 2009 and has been using Ubuntu and Fedora as his primary operating systems ever since. When the Raspberry Pi was introduced, it showed huge promise as a cheap learning tool for programming and general Linux use for people of all ages and backgrounds. His experience with using the Raspberry Pi and Linux resulted in his being employed at a major software manufacturer as a kernel developer, where he continues to work today. Thomas enjoys spending his time running, hiking, camping, and advocating open source software as well as teaching others how to do the same. He enjoys working on cars and spending time with his family. When he is not immersed in the newest technology, you can find Thomas on the other end, using as little of it as possible.
