Linux and the Open Source community

The agility that Open Source produces is tremendous but only as effective as the skills of your top IT person. The learning curve is steep but tremendously rewarding. I have collected here a repository of code and other material that I have struggled with at some stage or the other. I hope it is of use.

Enjoy and do spread the word of Linux.
