Speaker Info

Arne Blankerts has been using OS/2 since the good old days of 2.11 on a 486 DX 33 with only 64 Megs of Ram. Coming from the Amiga Computer, OS/2 was just the thing he needed and so kept using it up until eCS 1.0. Due to Business needs and the fact that pretty much all his applications where either ported from linux or where used over the network, he finally switched to run Linux as his main Workstation and Server OS some time after eCS 1.0 was releaseed. Working on the TNG-Installer for eCS, providing Support for the netlabs.org server in Hamburg and running the Netlabs Merchandise Store (shop.netlabs.org) still keeps him close to the OS/2-Community though.
