I currently handle the IT support for a large local business. Although I use Windows everyday, you will find I try to use Linux and open source software anytime I can. I use Linux at home on several RPI2 devices and computers. I dabble in audio still but IoT has become a passion of mine recently. I am currently studying for The Linux Foundation System Administrator certification.

When I am not working on computers or IoT devices, you will find me outside on my family farm. Yes, you heard right. I love spending time with my wife and children on the farm. They are the reason I do what I do everyday.

You can usually find mind on LinkedIn. Send me an email any time.

Great article! Network and machine security are just as important with Linux as any other system. With Linux gaining popularity with small businesses for server applications, it is still important that we take they extra steps in making sure that the likely hood of a breach is lessened.

Great article Jim. although I use IPFire; I understand why you went with the home-brew way. Simple and elegant in it's own way. You know that you know type of deal. I like it!
