Silviu StahieSoftpedia editor profile and review archive

I joined the Linux team at Softpedia four years ago and it turns out I enjoyed working on Linux platforms more than I imagined. The potential is immense and I believe open-source is a great future to believe in.

Otherwise I'm just the average geek. Besides my regular passion IT related stuff, I also enjoy reading books, maybe a little too much. I like PC games and the occasional Marvel inspired movie.

Last, but not least, I love hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter, although I'm finding that the relativity of time is shrinking these activities as I grow older.
