Romeo is a GNU/Linux sysadmin with nearly a decade of experience. As a college dropout, he has taught himself the ins and outs of GNU/Linux and of countless software projects from scratch with no tour guide or teacher. A consistent habit of "being the edge case that you want to see in the world" has forced him to develop a knack for solving problems that developers and maintainers typically don't see coming. Primarily specializing in HPC-related infrastructure management, he lives in a world of "except for on this cluster" and "except for in this context." This environment of asterisks has forced adaptability, which has translated into a lot of experience in diving into the weeds. He has spoken at several conferences in the PNW and nationwide, seeking to educate as well as to entertain. Originally a Portland native, he now lives in central Washington while working remotely for a company in Seattle.

Abstract
Canonical, never happy with existing standards, wrote their own auto-installer just for Ubuntu. It has some "fun" usage, which we will cover in great detail. After this talk, you will be able to install Ubuntu Server with your hands tied behind your back, whether it be on a virtual machine or bare metal, with or without a network connection, in a datacenter or in your lap. We will also have some fun talking about the perplexing decisions that Canonical makes and some of the long-standing bugs in Subiquity, along with workarounds.
