Eric Maryniak - Home Page

Welcome on my home page on the World Wide Web!
I'm a Unix/Linux system administrator and I work at the IT department of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.
I'm also a big fan of Linux :-]
And, btw, I wrote a book about Linux (available online), which was released under the GPL (GNU General Public License) on 1999-11-12!!

More info

Hi there!

An informal and multimedial introduction. Or: how a biologist became a programmer, webmaster, system administrator and eventually a software engineer. If you like traveling, too, you may find my vacation checklist handy (in Dutch, but also available in English). It is also listed under my hobbies.

Eric's Linux page

Here you'll find more info about the Linux book, Hans Paijmans and I wrote. It is in Dutch and also available online!
Our book has been released under the GPL (GNU General Public License) on 1999-11-12, thanks to the kind cooperation of the publisher, ten Hagen & Stam!
Furthermore, my Linux page contains links to important things such as how to pronounce Linux in various languages, including Dutch.

Publications and software

Some documents and software I wrote, available for download.

Curriculum vitae

A more formal description of past jobs, and of studies and courses I followed (both in Dutch and English). For my next boss ;-)

Job description

A description of my current job (both in Dutch and English). For my boss, so he knows what I'm doing. For myself as well, so I know what I'm supposed to be doing.

Contact info

How to contact me via e-mail, snail mail or voice mail.
You can also use my GnuPG/OpenPGP key (preferred) or PGP 5.0 public key if you want to e-mail me securely.

Linux? It's an operating system, Jim, but not as we know it.
