First post marks a milestone

As this is the first post, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my blog.

The title provides a good summary of what this blog is about.

I hope you will find some topics are of interest or good use. As a side note, this blog will help me track solutions to various problems I face while administering my Linux system and it's installed software packages.
