Volunteer Writer & support for MX Linux documentation
Currently enjoying retirement volunteering tech help to MX Linux in my free time in the MX Linux facebook group and the MX Linux Forum.
How-To guides and other writings by me:
- ‘Making a bootable external USB drive with MX Linux installed” updated February 14, 2025
- ‘4.5.1 Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) Configuration‘ updated August 12, 2024
- ‘Dual Boot: MX Linux & Windows-Installation Guide‘ updated December 29, 2024
- ‘MX Linux Quick-Start Guide‘ updated April 17, 2025
- ‘Using Samba File Sharing in MX Linux‘ updated February 23, 2025
- ‘Ventoy How-To‘ updated March 25, 2025
The above documents are continually augmented with *many* wise words from those answering users support requests in the MX Linux Support Forum. There are too many to name individually. These documents could NOT be as complete without them having given help there.
In my past Fortune 500 IT operations support many of the positions required my performing email servers (MS Exchange) support how-to documentation management. At one the writing and maintaining user & service manuals was a core deliverable. One service manual was 500+ pages.
Hobby play with the Linux operating system
After funds became available to build my first PC in 1988 from mail order parts. My work had a few IBM PC’s around and I was allowed to make a ‘backup’ boot disk for these and one for myself. Now I had a home lab of sorts. Later came Windows 2.15 for 386 and eventually Windows 3.1 for Workgroups.
In the early 1990’s I began hearing of an operating system not Microsoft called Slackware. It was in it’s infancy, you had to download multiple disk images and write them to 3.5 inch floppy disks. This was the first (to me) free operating system based on Unix.
I play with many ‘distros’ of Linux in a Virtual Box test environment so I can experience more with out doing bare metal installs.
