*n*x

*n*xadm?

This site is about *n*x. UNIX. GNU/Linux.

UNIX and UNIX-like is a silly distinction based on trademarks rather than the Operating System architectures. Because I have a Solaris and/or Debian/Ubuntu GNU/Linux background, I’ll probably stick with things about those two UNIX families. However, things should be pretty similar on other UNIX systems or GNU/Linux distributions.

The idea is to put some things on-line we have gathered, written or programmed. If you want to contact us or want to report an error or a bug, send a mail to .

Q. Why do you have a license header on ridiculous small scripts?
A. It looks pretty silly, but doing so we prevent misunderstandings later. All the howto’s are copyrighted with Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License while the programs and scripts with the GPL v3.

Q. What’s that md5 checksum thing?
A. The checksum guarantees that the program you download is the same as the one we present on this site. How do you check? You compare the checksum posted on the page with the checksum you get typing this on your shell: $ md5sum filename
If the checksum is the same, everything is fine. If not, you did not download the file we intended.

Anyway, this is a small way to give something back to the *n*x community for the how much I have received.
