In 2001 I started playing around with the GNU/Linux operating system. I could run it on just about any box I patched together from new and/or salvage components and I could configure it to run exactly the way I wanted it to run, not how someone else thought I should run it.

For most of this time my distribution of choice is Slackware, the oldest extant commercial distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system. I've found little reason to go distro hoping. The Slackware way of doing things suits me fine and I venture no further than keeping a bootable Slax CD or USB stick around and more recently I have installed Salix on an Acer Aspire One 751h netbook (see below).

From time to time I put something here which I hope others might find usefull although some older stuff has been put out to pasture.

DVB-T with command line tools; This seems to be the most hit page on my website.

Passwordless SSH; This is the second most popular page.

Bash Scripts; Here's a page with links to scripts I have written and used for time shifting digital TV, encoding and burning DVD's, capturing audio directly off the sound card, and a couple other things CLI or at system level.

Bash Scripting Tutorial; This is a talk I gave to the Melbourne Linux Users Group.
