About Linux Cookbook

Could there be anything more sad than not being able to do what you want with your computer? Maybe it's having to pay for the privilege of being locked into a particular operating system or application program. Imagine freeing yourself from proprietary software publishers who only care about you as a consumer.

Linux, and free/open source software projects of all kinds, give you the power to control what software you run, when you run it, when and whether you load upgrades and new releases, and just how much you pay for the privilege.

I've been using Linux as my primary operating system exclusively since 2000, and don't have any plans to change that. In all those years, I've enjoyed freedom from viruses and other malware, mandatory upgrades, complicated software installations, and expensive software that just doesn't work the way I want it to.

Join me on my quest for ever more good solutions to computer challenges.
