Seriously, although I do bash Windows a lot, it does have some useful programs. We will try to keep Linux the focus of our discussions but I may at times jump into the Windows world or even the Mac world just for specific reasons. Don't worry, I won't dwell there. We will be discussing some topics here that are a little more advanced. I have a lot of experience with Linux and absolutely love it but I do still use Windows from time to time for gaming purposes. The fact is, I by no means know everything about Linux. I only have experience with Ubuntu so that is where I will base my experience. It can be assumed that when I speak of how to do something I am saying how I did it in Ubuntu. I am currently running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope and although 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon is to this day still my favorite version of Ubuntu as it was my first and more, I still love Jaunty. Who am I? My name is A.J. I desire to attain to übergeekhood. Do you?
Search Linux Geekdom here!
These are some sites that I have found to be excellent resources. You may be wondering why Google is on the list. Ask anyone who does a lot of research on the internet where they always go first and they will 99 times out of 100 say Google. Chad Wollenberg at the Linux Basement said the same thing in his podcast about responding to people's questions. I will be happy to help with your questions, Linux or Windows, but you have to do some initial research. Send me what you have done already and we can build off of that. You can email me at aj@linuxgeekdom.com.
