Welcome to Linux IT Consultant.
My goal is to foster interest in and promote use of Linux in Information Technology.
So, to that end, this blog will try to hold to that theme, with occasional departures to discuss topics that are somewhat related, but perhaps less so at times, so as to reach readers who might not yet have come into contact with Linux.
It's really that simple. No other agenda. I hope to enlist the participation of additional authors here who are willing to share their unique perspectives and experiences using Linux in a way that benefits you, the reader, with genuinely useful information. In that regard, if you have an interest in becoming a blogger with Linux IT Consultant, please email me.
While this is meant to be a blog for Linux IT professionals, no less important are those who may find Linux does not meet their expectations or have not as yet come to terms with it by virtue of being new users or totally uninitiated. Don't hesitate to join in--I would most certainly appreciate having your sincere constructive feedback as well.
New Ideas put forward here need not only be promoted, but as important, ideas should be prodded, considered carefully with a generous amount of skepticism until consensus is reached on whether they have merit.
I don't care if you disagree. That is your right. However, probably more than anything else I do care how you tender your viewpoint. So, if you would, I will take this opportunity to extend a "thank you" in advance for the special consideration you give when making replies to me and other blog participants.
Generally speaking, being nice and courteous to others and having fun with the process of exchanging ideas and information is encouraged and anticipated!
Those who wish to add comments, please be advised that login/authentication is required before any post can be made. Your choices are:
1) Add an account to my website through Movable Type (which will ask you to confirm registration from your e-mail account), and
2) Login with an existing Typekey account.
Should you experience any difficulty creating your account or using this website in any way, please let me know.
Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
Dietrich

Greetings little brother from my WIndows Admin World at the southern end of Heaven!
Good luck on your new enterprise. May all of your hard work result in helping yourself by helping others who can benefit from all that you have learned over your many years in your varied IT business roles and by making this forum available. Knowing what the best choices are for a given situation is so very valuable as a consultant. It is too often that we end up paying for what is most new or currently in vogue instead what is most appropriate for the host of conditions that must be considered.
Thanks for setting a tone that will hopefully lead to civil discourse about ideas, debate on methods and the sharing of what is working for folks, what isn't and the all too often overlooked reasons why one means is chosen from the many available. This is the really fascinating essence of the business today.
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts and well wishes Big Bro! :)
