Steve's Linux Page

I use Linux on my home desktop computers, as well as for my file and web servers. I use the Debian/GNU Linux distribution because Debian Rocks!. Well, that is mostly true, but I now use Ubuntu Linux, which is derived from Debian. I sometimes use KDE as my desktop since it is very well integrated, or a just bash in a console, but also like the look and feel of Gnome and the speed of Xfce.
