Words of Linux

Yes even with all the new Apple Mac stuff on this site, I have not given up on the mighty penguin, and still use it for most things including every server, plus the odd workstation etc.

This page is the home for everything even slightly related to the penguin, thats publically available on this site, and includes things like; reviews, technical howtos, plus general writings and the odd rant. Just be warned I always speak my mind and can be brutal, where justified.

As always, I welcome constructive feedback on any of the documents indexed from this page. Note I said "constructive" which is aimed at the charming individual who emailed me asking for porn. Then comes the "person" who demanded that I add illegal MP3 downloads etc. Anyway, if you want to contact me, please use the new hardened mail form
