Linux

I started using Xenix 3.2f on an Altos 286 machine in 1988. I "discovered" Linux about 1995 and joined KPLUG shortly after. I became president of KPLUG about two years later, when we were meeting the Computer Parts Plus. I've been very active in the group, since the beginning, participating in Installfests and doing presentations on various topics. I've written some documentation, including some for opensource projects like !ISPMan and mailadmin I also do Linux firewalls, and have a special interest in Linux security issues. As a result I've create a web page about "Securing Your New Linux Server"http://www.linuxgeek.net/index.pl/securing_linux. Feedback is welcome.

I'll do my best, to answer questions about e-mail, firewalls, and securing linux.
