blogLinux is my personal work-related blog, with emphasis on Linux. Also included is information about Unix and even Windows. I use many operating systems at work and at home and so I come across many tips and tricks. I’d like to share them with the world and keep them archived for myself.

Feel free to comment on the things you find useful. I’ll continue to post as long as I’m into computers (see: forever).

On the left are the categories of posts I’ve made. Note that some of the parent categories will have more posts than the children combined. This is because some posts refer to the parent and not only one of the children. For example a linux command tip would just be listed under linux, while a configuration which only worked on Gentoo would just be listed under Gentoo (also raising linux’s total).

This is what code looks like in my blog, or exact text from computer output:

this is code from linux or wherever

Feel free to comment or leave donations. I moderate comments to avoid spam, but I generally post even negative feedback or comments.

I’m working at a managed web hosting company which does numerous extra services for the clients. I am exposed constantly to technology and varying operating systems, shells, applications and hardware. I’d like to document this stuff and let everyone get a taste of all the madness of it all. Maybe even spread some knowledge.

Lots of places throughout this blog I may mention my hardware, and do several tests on them. For information, I’m providing the specifics about the machines:
