Greetings friends and visitors! I use these blogs to help organize useful information about technology. For a couple of years now I’ve known that I needed something for the Linux domain and here it is. You’re unlikely to find me contributing a significant amount of original material, I’m just an average Linux enthusiast and usually find that what I need has been done and documented.
Your suggestions and feedback are welcome. Have a stable day!

in reference to:
“The upcoming release of Ubuntu 10.04 is on the way and with its new theme, looks simply stunning. With an online music store built in, integrated cloud backup services and a strong focus on social networking, could this finally be the release consumers have been waiting for?”
