Continuing on with the dissection of the anatomy of Linux you may remember that I rambled on a bit about how the kernel modules are used to access the various hardware devices on the computer. This makes the Linux kernel soNot just hardware either. Other things like file systems, networking protocols and lower level stuff (real technical term there :) ) can be and are handled by kernel modules. MORE

Most people assume Linux is secure, and that’s a false assumption. The negative career implications of choosing not to harden your Kali Linux host are severe, so I’ll share the necessary steps to make your Linux host secure, including how I use penetration testing and Kali Linux to get the job done. It’s important to note that, while they are many distributions (AKA distros) of Linux and each one differs from the command line perspective, the logic is the same. MORE

There are simply too many reasons to choose Linux and I have come to the conclusion that it is just not practical to go over them all. For a start I will come across as a Linux fanatic (well I am but that's beside the point) and it will also get old and boring very quick (much like I am in real life) So I will conclude this ramble on why people choose Linux in this final batch of monkey key presses MORE

In my mind, Linux is the ultimate operating system. Other people will, of course, think differently, however, Linux is the operating system I have chosen to use and I have used it for many, many years. Lots of people have chosen Linux same as lots of people have chosen different operating systems. Even within the Linux technosphere, there are also people who have chosen this MORE

Previously I said that the most popular reason people say that they choose Linux is because it is free as in beer. It is not, however, the only reason people choose Linux. Some people choose Linux because it is not a proprietary operating system. Well, it seems that I have more to say on this subject than I thought I would. This is not a financial decision but more like a MORE

Linux is everywhere! Heck you are probably holding Linux in your had right now. It doesn’t matter if you like or use other operating systems you are still most probably, almost definitely, using Linux. It is even in places you may not even realise. How could that be MORE

It's been a while since I have done a Linux related article so I figure it is about time. That question is, how can I learn Linux? This particular stringing of random words (in my head there are infinite monkeys) was inspired by someone who asked what many of us have asked at one time or another. However, just that question is not enough. It is too open-ended. It is like saying MORE

In the previous chicken scratchings, I wrote about the basic reasoning behind the Linux operating systems directories. You may or may not know but Linux, like its Unix counterpart is designedI covered all the important ones, at least the basic ones for a very minimal but working operating system. There is one directory I purposely omitted because it has a special reason. MORE

You may think this is going to be another rant on Linux being so good because it is open source and free and Linus Torvalds is god and this and that but it is not going to be like that. As you may know, Linux is modelled after the Unix operating system. Instead of focusing on the philosophical side of things I am going to focus on the operating system itself. It is not however MORE

Unix has become Linux, and it is running on an amazing variety of devices. New lineages of Linux have emerged.Some are highly specialized, some are more generic.

The most common complaint I am informed about regarding Linux is that it is hard to use. So I am going to compare some common tasks between Linux, windows and macos to see if Linux is really that hard to use. Personally, I find this complaint very puzzling. I will base these comparisons on a fresh install of the operating system as it comes out of the box so to speak. MORE
