Welcome to FreeAptitude
Scattered computer science notes, mainly openSUSE Linux, Ruby and Bash.
FreeAptitude is mainly the digital transposition of my personal notes about programming and system issues I face or I faced during my personal and professional activity as software developer.
The free software has been my field of interest in the latest 15 years having used, tested and participated to dozens of communities, spread the word, lent my help in forums and groups…, and I thought that might be useful to arrange my experiences in a single blog.
Useful for me as reminder and hopefully to everyone else has to solve common issues, and last but not least, help people develop a certain aptitude towards free software.
These years I also created several tools, script, libraries, applications, to fix particular situations or speed up usual tasks; some of them are publicly available at my Github repository .
I have also arranged a list of links where my articles and materials are shared or reshared.
Finally, to support my work can refer to one of the methods listed in the Support section
or just leave a comment under my articles.
If you want to know more about my other not-free applications there is a Showcase section .
