What I am About at Robert Pogson

This is the blog of an old man who has been there and done that. I have worked with computers for nearly forty years. Lately I have been teaching and using GNU/Linux in schools. Last year, I designed a complete IT systems for a school and installed it.

I have been using Linux since 1999 when I had several machines running that other OS failing daily. I installed Linux for my first time and those old machines ran flawlessly for months. I have been hooked on Linux and FLOSS ever since.

I intend to comment on what I am doing and what others are doing that matters to me. A lot of it will be about computers and FLOSS. Some will be about berries and mushrooms. See my homepage .

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
