First Post

I've been using Linux in some form for years, but as a builder and maintainer of Linux systems my skills are pretty basic.  Fortunately, modern distributions are fairly sophisticated and those nice people on the internet are awfully helpful.  But sometimes your problem is sufficiently new (or sufficiently weird) -- or the solution sufficiently fragmented -- that you've got to work it out yourself.  So I decided to start a blog of fixes and discoveries, as a record for myself and a resource for anyone with similar problems.
