About Me

Hi I’m Ton van gessel. This being a personal website I feel obligated to tell somthing about myself. I was born on the 4th of may 1963 in the netherlands in a place called Heemskerk.

Work

I work as a car mechanic and have been doing so after I finished dayschool in 1981. I work in a garage called M.de Koning b.v. ( http://www.mdekoning.nl ) in Capelle aan den IJssel . Also in the netherlands.

Intrests

Life , the universe and everything.

Ok this a little bit broad so I’ll try to narrow it down a little bit.

Computers

I like computers. And many people give me old computers when they throw them away. So my attic is filled with old computers. I try to keep them in working condition . But sometimes I have to kill one to keep the other alive.

Operating systems

This may seem a bit weird but I really like fooling around with different operating systems. This is made easier by the fact that I do have al lot of computers standing around. Over the years I’ve worked with Windows 3.0 3.11 95 98 nt3.51 nt4 and 2000 , os/2 2.1 2.11 3 (warp) 3.51 (server for ebuisseness ) and ecomstation, Dos ms-dos dr-dos free-dos dl-dos and many more, QNX , plang , Linux , FreeBSD NetBSD OpenBSD DesktopBSD PCBsd 386BSD , Solaris , HPUX , forth-os and many moore I’ve already forgotten. My main machine runs on freebsd witch is the os I allways seem to came back to. The machine I make this site on runs on debian.
