-# Ben Morrison runs BSD
+Hi everyone! I'm a geek from the US.
-I'm a geek from [Acadiana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadiana) who,
-instead of growing up to be a commercial fisherman or work at an oil
-refinery, opted to partake in a more digital future.

Initially, my introduction to this world was Red Hat Linux 7.0 around
-the summer of 2000. I loved it. After distro-hopping through Slackware,
-Debian, and Gentoo, I settled on an early release of Arch Linux around
-2003.

I continued to stay in the Linux world for many years, until a bit after
-the systemd change-over. Around 2013, I made the jump to [OpenBSD] after
-having been fascinated by it for many years. It always seemed like the
-mythical "perfect UNIX-like OS" to me. The saying is "Don't meet your
-heroes", but in this case, it was wonderful.

opt to use FreeBSD on my laptop for more bleeding-edge software and
slightly better desktop performance, but OpenBSD still has a place in my
heart.
In November 2018, after hanging around this strange, but cozy, place
called the "Tildeverse," where retro computing and shell accounts are
-all the rage, I realized there were no major BSD options. That's when I
-decided to open up [tilde institute](https://tilde.institute) as the
-home of OpenBSD in our corner of the internet. It's even been featured
-on the BSD Now podcast! Episode 294 plugs the project. If social UNIX is
-your thing, come join us! We hang out on IRC, slap together various
-coding projects, and have a lot of fun doing it all.

Keep running BSD, everyone!
