Stefan Lasiewski

Daddy, Linux Guy, Bicyclist, Tinkerer, Fixer & Breaker of things.

I work as a Senior Server Team Engineer at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA.

Father of 3 cute children. Yes I'm a sysadmin and a parent.

Heavy user of CentOS, RHEL & FreeBSD for production services at work. I also run Ubuntu at home, for the simplicity. I'm a fan of Apache HTTP Server, Nagios & Cacti.

Original proposer of unix.stackexchange.com (Yes, this proposal predated askubuntu.com, and I wish they would have merged with the Unix proposal.).
