[Linuxcommand-announce] [LinuxCommand.org: Tips, News And Rants] Site News: LinuxCommand.org Turns 10!

[William S. <bs...@pa...>]

LinuxCommand.org is 10 years old! The site first went live in March
2000. Since then I've had about 3.2 million visitors (at least
according to the statistics at SourceForge where I'm hosted), received
many kind emails from my readers, written a book, distributed a lot of
scripts, and been mirrored all around the world.

In the coming year, I hope to update the tutorials on the site. Much of
the text, believe it or not, dates back to the beginning of the site,
another testament to the enduring value of learning the command line.
But even so, the tutorials are getting a little outdated and my own
knowledge has grown considerably over the last ten years as well.

As you may have noticed, this blog has been pretty busy and I have
settled into a routine of posting twice a week (on Tuesdays and
Thursdays) and I have many more topics in mind to cover. And there is
always the book to improve. I've even toyed with writing another one...

Anyway, I want to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement
and support. I know I don't always respond to each email that I
receive, but I do try. Speaking of support, you can support the work
here at LinuxCommand.org by purchasing your very own printed copy of my
book. I've donated money to a number of free and open source software
projects over the years and continue to "pay for my software" by
producing this site and performing software testing on projects that
interest me.

Thanks to everyone for ten great years!
