Hello all!
I thought I could make an introduction about the idea and motivation behind this blog.
This is a place intended for the divulgation of open source software in general. It's true, there are a lot of places like this one but I think that by sharing my personal experiences on this field I can really be helping and encouraging the use of this type of software.
The aproach to the topics will be simple: show useful tools and features that I use on a daily basis and hope that it can incentivize you to use them as well.
My experience with the open source world started about 10 years ago when I first tried to install Linux on my computer. The distribution was Linux Red Hat 7.3. Then I moved to Slackware, I just loved it and I consider it as one of the best Linux distributions around. But then and because of lack of time I left the Linux world for sometime... Now I came back and I'm amazed at the all new features moderns distributions have. Currently I use ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon on my computer.
So the idea is that since I've started using Linux (entering again in the open source world) again, post the things I do and the things I learn. That will provide you with a basic knowledge that you can use to try things on your own.
Just a footnote to tell you that I'm no fanatic or so. I defend a world where all type of software exists, because only by uniting we can acheive bigger things.
My purpose then is to make this place a road, to show your that there is another world, another side!
