I'm looking to move out of my parents basement and... ok scratch that. I
was just kidding. First let me introduce myself. I'm a GNU/Linux free
software guy with an interest in getting the open source desktop off the
ground. Not even just that- a free desktop really. Ideally. One without
proprietary drivers, firmware, and such things.  

I've been living at home to avoid paying rent and soaking up the cash
that I'd prefer go toward getting businesses afloat that I've started.
My parents have allot of spare rooms and such things that I've been able
to use for offices so it has worked really well. 

I'm looking to move out now that one of my businesses has taken off.
However I'm still trying to save as much as I can for operation #2-
called ThinkPenguin.

In order to save the cash I'd like to find a house mate to share an
apartment with. Where to look? I thought I'd start here. If anybody here
is interested or knows somebody that is interested and loves GNU/Linux
or free / open source software I'm up for moving out. Just give me a
date! Two days, two months, or six. Could probably be even longer.
Chances are slim I'll being going anywhere until I'm 42 otherwise.

In any case:

The first business is a computer repair company. We have three locations
right now. Portland, Oregon, Hunterdon County, NJ, and soon to be New
Orleans, Louisiana. Legal paperwork is done, marketing is sent, and just
waiting for customers to start a calling!

As far what I'd say would be ideal:

I'm basically trying to find something within 20 minuets or so of
Flemington, NJ. I can stretch that a little to meet people half way.
Maybe we could work something else out entirely. 

Lambertville to Princeton 30 minuets (20 for me) 
Pennington to Princeton 20 minuets (30 for me)
Hopewell to Princeton 15 minuets (20 for me)

A little more about me. I'm 25, have a B.S. in Computer Science, I
graduated in 2007, I started my first business in 2008, I've met
Stallman, Shuttleworth, and even took Linus (YES! Torvalds) out to
lunch :)

What more could you possibly want to know? Ohh yea, I do code a little,
from time to time. Then I have put together a few cool mini
'distributions'. I interned for Linspire (Lindows)- yea- you can say
what you want. By the time I interned though they had Kevin Carmony
fixing stuff and that never made the news. Still- Michael screwed it up
in the end.
