systhreadThis site is about operating systems and hobbyist programming. The site is designed more for the casual Open Source user, administrator and/or programmer. This site's written material hinges on programming and administration. That is all - nothing else. Even the code available here pretty much reflects code for administration (which makes perfect sense).
In 1998 the site author began writing about UNIX(tm) Systems Administration.
The first site was called i2t for Internet Information Technologies. That
website was hosted by the now defunct yyz.net. Although it might be possible
to pull copies from the internet archives using
http://www.yyz.net/i2t/. The site then evolved to the point
where adminsitration and simple programming content began to take shape. So
it was a dedicated virtual web server was setup under the
diverge.org domain. The subsite was called OutRider
.
The OutRider journal began to pickup steam and even led to some books along
with the author becoming a member of the NetBSD foundation. After a
(traumatic) move in 2000 OutRider fell by the wayside due to hectic
schedules. In 2005, inspired by Dave over at LXer.com, Systhread was
setup as a continuation of what OutRider had started. Systhread also
details some information about projects and code the author has worked on.
