Hello, World
Greetings, readers.
When Linux first started off as a personal pet project of Linus Torvalds, even he did not anticipate it growing into the kernel for the GNU project, and subsequently into a large-scale, enterprise-grade operating system which is not only entirely free (as in freedom), but also a significant player in the technological mainstream. Both Linux and free software shook the IT business world, and some people in that realm are still coming to terms with what Linux will eventually do for IT.
For the geek and free software hacker, the growth of Linux represents a very cool opportunity to build an entirely new and exciting software infrastructure together with the commercial software industry, but not beholden to it. This liberates us and gives us an opportunity to take computers and technology where our imagination takes us.
Therefore, this blog is to document these developments, for we live in exciting times.
