Stefan grew up in the 1980s with the C64 and the Amiga home computers. The ambitious goal of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, bringing fun programming back to today's youth, resonated strongly with Stefan who immediately ordered his Raspberry Pi on the launch day itself. After much tinkering and learning a great deal about the unique properties of the Pi, he launched the "PiLFS" (http://www.intestinate.com/pilfs) website, which teaches readers how to build their own GNU/Linux distribution and applications that are particularly useful on the Raspberry Pi.
