It’s time for another two hour Linux fest on the Computer America radio show and it should be great. Join me tonight at 10:00 PM Eastern time (7:00 PM Pacific) for two hours of Linux.

Thank you, Linux Magazine! My favorite quote is “Simply put, this is the perfect book for non-geeks making or even thinking about making the move to Linux.” Perfect! Wow!
