Introduction To A Self Managed Life A 13 Hour 28 Minute Presentation By Futo Software 1st Edition Louis Rossmann by Louis Rossmann instant download after payment.

I started using GNU/Linux in 2002, back when I saved up the $79.99 necessary to buy SuSE Linux 8.1 Professional as a boxed set from the Best Buy across the street from the Staten Island mall for my 14th birthday. I started hosting my own servers in 2005, and put together systems for my own business’ use since early 2011. I didn’t do everything outlined here immediately; it was slowly built piece by piece over a long time. I never documented it in a way that would allow my grandma to use it. In 22 years, I can’t remember reading GNU/Linux documentation that felt like it was designed for normal people. That’s what I’m looking to do here.

Now is a time like no other for you to feel empowered to build systems that you control & understand. My goal with this guide is not to tell you the way you HAVE to do something, or to imply that my way is the best. My goal is to inspire you by showing you what’s possible. You don’t have to be a computer engineer or someone with an IQ of 160 to figure this all out. And, admittedly, to inspire capable developers to look at the pain points scattered throughout this guide (of which there are many) and decide “enough is enough; let’s make this better.”

The fun here is in building your own system, your own way. This is my sovereign cloud; there are many like it, but this one is mine. I can’t wait to see how you build yours.
