Hello and welcome to Zack’s, an online collection of articles dedicated to open-source technologies, system administration, food, and booze. Here, you will find some general information about us and some tips on how we do things. We hope you enjoy your time here, and thank you very much for your visit.
Zack’s History
This blog has been around and more or less online since 2012. In the beginning, it was more of a note-to-self or scrapbook for Željko Jagušt–Zack, the original author. With time it took a stronger online magazine style and direction. But, the idea behind it was always to spread the knowledge free and unselfishly. Why? Well, knowledge was always collective and not individual, right? When we analyze ourselves and how much we know… it’s not much. Unless you’re a genius! So why not share what we know in the hope that some of you, our dear readers, will do the same?
About Our Content
We will always strive to provide you with fresh and accurate content. If we miss something or you notice incorrect information, please share your discovery with us. We will be more than happy to correct our mistakes and credit you as an author.
Regarding article schedule and continuity, we will strive to at least give you one new article every week. You may consider that somewhat low, but please understand that all our authors have jobs, families, and free time, which they can waste however they like. We highly appreciate their contribution and hope you do, too.
You can figure out the themes we cover from our logo. Occasionally, we (the authors) may give ourselves the freedom to depart from the standard topics and just give you “our view of the world.” Don’t worry; we promise this won’t be often.
Give credit where credit is due
We are not credit takers. We guarantee that we are the authors of every article on this website, but if we know of a good article, link, or piece of software… let’s just call them tips; we will make sure to share them with you.
Our Platform
“What tools do you use?” – There was a Seinfeld episode in which he did a sketch on how grown men, as soon as they hear or see another man working, immediately have to know what that “other man” is working on, what tools he uses, and so on. For some reason unknown, “What tools do you use?” is a question pretty common to ask in IT circles.
We just have to know all the components in your computer, what operating system you are on (this one is of utmost importance!!), whether you prefer mechanical or membrane keyboards and thousands of additional similar questions.
