[TriLUG] a (somewhat dated) Linux Journal article and other thoughts

[Jason Tower]

as a matter of fact, i have started a services company that uses linux as the 
backbone of most solutions i provide.  whenever i run into a situation that 
requires skills that i lack (which hasn't happened yet but inevitably will in 
the future) the trilug list is the first place i will go for help or to 
subcontract the skills i need.
