Expertise

I can answer questions as to the nature of open source unix (linux), where it came from, how it works, how to find key information for troubleshooting your system, how to install dual-boot OS's, how to obtain and install linux applications which replace Microsoft applications, how to parse log files, how to write simple shell, awk and sed scripts to accomplish useful tasks, and a host of other linux questions. I can answer questions about Apache, DNS and SMTP. I can walk a layperson through the steps necessary to compile downloaded source code, and when this is actually necessary. Also, I can answer questions about wireless networking with linux, and basic concepts of TCP/IP. I cannot answer questions about C or C , or for that matter any compileable language.
