How Orditux Computing Was Born
2004
Purchase of a desktop computer, 56k low-speed internet connection, installation of Mandrake 10 in dual-boot three months later. Creation and development of the blog Mieux Être et Synergie, still online to this day.
2006
Publication of the book “Ubuntu Linux, an Easy-to-Use Linux Distribution” by Éditions Eyrolles, of which I am the co-author, along with Lionel DRICOT and Benoît CACCINOLO.
2009
Completion of an IT service for an association, within the framework of a wage portage.
2011 to 2017

2016

2018
The Orditux Informatique project opened its doors for the first time in a shop located in the center of the city of Pamiers, in the small department of Ariège, Occitanie, south of Toulouse.
2018 to 2022
Various IT and digital services benefited many users with diverse profiles as long as the business was able to operate.
The shutdown of activity during the Covid period, and before that, the disruptions caused by social movements starting at the end of 2018, led me to reconsider the business orientation.
The shop was closed in mid-May 2023, while still continuing to offer services.
End of 2022 to end of 2024
Employed under an apprenticeship contract to obtain the “IT Maintenance and Support Manager” diploma (BAC +2 level equivalent), completed at the end of 2024 in Toulouse.
January 2023: change of legal status, from Sole Proprietorship to Micro-enterprise;
May 2023: Shutting down the shop in Pamiers.
2025 to present
Provision of IT and digital services, and resale of refurbished pre-owned computers; technical work on a free software project aimed at expanding computer refurbishing initiatives.
