User:Davidbryant

Hi! My name is David Bryant. I was born in Alaska, attended college in Pasadena, California (Caltech), and worked as an actuary and as an assembly language programmer (IBM S/360 & S/370) for many years, mostly in Denver, Colorado. I'm now retired and living in Canyon Lake, Texas.

I've been using Linux since 2003, mostly openSUSE until recently. A friend of mine, Jack Ostroff, is an avid fan of Gentoo Linux, so about two weeks ago I downloaded the .iso image and started building a Gentoo system. After a couple of false starts I succeeded in getting it working moderately well. I signed up for this wiki because there are a few things in the AMD64 handbook that were not real clear during the installation process: I intend to make a few suggestions about clarifying some ambiguities.

If you'd like to learn more about me, please feel free to visit my personal web site at https://davidcbryant.net. Or drop me a line on my talk page.

Developing Windows help for the "Handbook"
I've been involved in a long discussion of the "Handbook:AMD64" wiki pages. I'm cooking up some replacement verbiage for section 3.2.1 of "Choosing the right installation medium". I'll construct it here, on my own page, before suggesting it on a talk page. --Davidbryant (talk) 14:19, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
