This is where you are going to get information on much of my Linux interests. I have been a Linux user since 1995, and
am quite taken by the operating system. I owe much to Linux, especially in giving me one more teaching credential in the Ontario
school system.
In the beginning, I used to delve into the innards of the operating system and get things going such as networking and
print services. At that time, I created several web pages about dialing in using minicom and ppp. I also tried to give some
background on TTY screens, along with some BASH scripting along the way. They were very popular in the Toronto area, and they
still get plenty of hits.
The pages are by no means intended to be a comprehensive set of lessons for using Linux. I would not have the time to do all that by
myself. But they are to be seen more as solutions to problems that I had to spend the greatest amount of time struggling with.
While most of these pages deal with out-of-date protocols (such as PPP), I still know many people that still use a modem to dial in.

Internet -- a paper I wrote which contains a networking problem solved using Matlab 7 for
a Data Management class. Free for you to copy and distribute as long as
my name appears on the document as the author.
My most current installed Linux distribution is Slackware 11. It seems to be one of the only distributions left
where a person can dive right in and fix things. I used LightScribe to design the DVD, and thought I would post
it below for posterity. The Tux and J. R. Bob Dobbs graphics were downloaded from the Slackware website.
