In the world of computer operating systems, Linux is like those colonial upstarts back in 1776 that wanted to be free and democratic. Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Swede [sic] Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. The source code for Linux is freely available to everyone.Gig Harbor, Washington writer Chris Negus is a recognized Linux OS authority. He is the bestselling author of “Red Hat Linux 9 Bible†and all previous editions, with more than 200,000 copies sold.
He recently co-authored a new book called “Linux Toys,†published by Wiley. The book contains 13 projects you can build with a PC, free open source Linux software, and a few odds-and-ends. His cool projects include transforming an answering machine into an e-mail converter, building an MP3 music jukebox, building a car entertainment center, and creating a TV video recorder/player.
