| == Custom Distribution == I figured I would start with this on something singular without a rigid time frame so that I can develop as my time allows. I was intrigued by a project to develop a specialized flavour of Ubuntu for the office. See the following links for info: * Ubuntu Forums - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786949&highlight=office+distribution * Enterprise Linux - http://go-techo.com/forum/index.php |
= Special Projects = == FOSS Music Project == Basically, this is a HOWTO to show complete Linux newbies how to install and use Ubuntu Studio using modest hardware. Therefore, it will showcase a very select crash course in Linux, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. The focus will mainly be on recording music from a rock/metal band consisting of guitars, bass, drums (live and Hydrogen) and vocals. Sorry, don't know diddle about electronica or MIDI at this point. It will also include basics about mixing and mastering music gathered from books, experience and very cool forums that include people with multiple gold records on their walls. |

About Me
I started using computers in 1982 programming BASIC on an Apple ][. Please note that this is not the ][+ or the ][c and this was way before Macs.
While I have used Windows as I muddled throughout my life and career I began using Linux with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 and reawakened my inner geek. Suddenly life has meaning again.
I've set some goals for myself because I like to move forward. I've wanted to give something back to the community for quite a while and now I've begun that process also.
Currently, my major focus is my FOSS Music Project wiki, FOSS Music Project Drupal site (just begun!) and the libffado main inclusion report. I know, exciting!
