Like Father Like Son Linux Review

By: James Taylor
  • Summary

  • Just two ordinary guys who love to distro hop. Father and Son, sharing their knowledge and experience with you all. We aren't super technical, nor are we using bleeding edge technology. We started our journey of Linux around the same time. My Dad introduced me to Ubuntu back when I was about 8. My son brought me back into Linux when my hardware was having issues running Windows. Now we want to try different distros and share our learning journey with you.
