What the heck is linux?

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Jan 08, 2017

I will introduce you to linux, a free, open source operating system. It can, and has, replaced both windows and osx for me personally. I prefer using linux for both my home and work computing needs. If you would like to know more about this operating system, strike up a conversation. You can even try it without installing it on your computer. It's small enough to run on a usb drive!
We can start with an overview of linux, and if you want to look into making a switch, we'll schedule more sessions.

Training & Qualifications


I have been a programmer for the past 10 years. While I have experience with windows and macs, the bulk of my programming experience is linux. That's how I have come to favor a linux desktop over any other.
I also experiment with various linux desktops, so I'm familiar with both the old and new.

Availability & Preferences


I'm available most nights/weekends. We can set up a call, skype or converse over email/Simbi.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Scott Travis is truly a scripting genius. He has a ton of experience with automation on Linux. He introduced me to about for new programs that I had n...ever heard of that will make my life a thousand times easier. I am very excited to do all this new research and to learn everything that I can about it. Scott took his time and spent an hour and a half to help me do exactly what I need to do, and I can't even tell you how much I appreciate it!show more

Scott is very knowledgable and was a pleasure to talk to. He clearly knows his stuff and was able to provide me with some pointers and resources which... I'll surely be taking advantage of. Highly recommend working with him for IT related services (though he also mentioned working in digital marketing and may have other strong skillsets).show more
