# Joan Català Piñon runs BSD Hello, my name is Joan Català Piñon, I'm a 40 year old computer technician working in my local Government in València. I work giving support and technical advice to more than 115 municipalities in my province. The city councils, information technology in public entities, the National Security Plan and security are a fascinating world. At work, we use GNU/Linux servers under VMware structure and we share programs under Citrix Receiver. But I use [FreeBSD] in some developments environments, also on my Raspberry Pi and [OpenBSD] on my laptop daily. I falled in love with Unix way of life many years ago, I started using [HP-UX] working five years at [Hewlett Packard] in Barcelona. I also started using FreeBSD and OpenBSD as a server and desktop operative systems. Nowadays, my daily desktop is OpenBSD 6.3 on my i5 Levono ThinkPad X250 and it works like a charm, I really enjoy OpenBSD because it is fast, stable. Also GNOME 3 looks really beautiful. My normal desktop could be using Mozilla Firefox, Mutt and GnuPG, GIMP, Stellarium, LibreOffice, VLC, MPlayer, etc. I write post about BSD systems (and other stuff) regularly on [my personal website], please visit it and spread the word. :-) Find me on [Twitter] or email me at . _[24 Aug 2018](/raw/people/joancatala.md)_ [FreeBSD]: https://www.freebsd.org/ [OpenBSD]: https://www.openbsd.org/ [HP-UX]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX [Hewlett Packard]: https://www.hp.com/ [my personal website]: http://jcatala.net [Twitter]: https://twitter.com/joancatala
