Linux

Welcome to my Linux page. I have been using UNIX (IRIX) on Silicon Graphics computers to study molecular interactions of small molecule drugs with DNA structures since 1996. More recently, I have started using Linux as an alternative operating system to Microsoft Windows on PC-based platforms. I started using Red Hat Linux back with version 7.3 and currently run Fedora Core Linux for development work and CentOS 4 on my desktop and server PCs.

I particularly like the Linux platform for the following reasons:

• Security – corporate class firewall means no more viruses or malware to worry about
• Stability – no more constant reboots. If an application crashes, it does just that, it doesn't take down the whole system with it
• Configurability – I can make my Linux do what I want it to do rather than what it wants to do
• Scaleability– it runs exactly the same whether I run one application or service, or 100

This section will contain a number of Linux tutorials. Also, don't forget to check out the Linux Forum at PC Perspective.
