Hi there, LQ members.

I am, well, Ayatana (not real name). I am from India. I am a physics graduate and studying for my Ph.D. I am doing physics by day and math by night, with a very healthy seduction of computer science. I use Ubuntu as my daily driver and Slackware when I feel like Batman. And yes, my favorite superhero is Batman. I mostly use Linux for my school work and fun. I use the following packages regularly and they are awesome and you should look at them,

• - R
• - Julia
• - SymPy
• - ePiX
• - PGF/TikZ
• - Processing

Here are my affiliations:

• - C. Not C++.
• - Perl. Not Python.
• - Haskell. Not LISP.
• - Pepsi. Not Coke.
• - Star Trek. Not Star Wars.
• - Vi. Not Emacs.
• - Firefox. Not Chrome.
• - init scripts. Not SystemD.
• - ALSA. Not PulseAudio.
• - DPKG. Not RPM.
• - Batman. Not Superman.
• - Tizen. Not Android.
• - DC. Not Marvel.

Let's get to know each other. What are your views? Am I being one of those grumpy old Linux users who wants to hold on to the old Unix philosophy?

Greetings.

Welcome.

Hello and welcome to the forum, I'm not sure I know what the old Linux philosophy was.

Hi ayatana and welcome to LQ!
