Tony has coauthored two books on Linux and over the years, he’s written more than a dozen magazine articles on topics from Drupal and content management systems to podcasting with open source tools. Since February 2005, he’s engineered and hosted “The Roadhouse Podcast,” a weekly hour of “the finest blues you’ve never heard.” Since the purchase of an Intel–based Mac Mini, Tony has become both obsessed and fascinated with the operating system he calls “Linux with a pretty face.”
