Tony has coauthored two books on Linux and over the years, he's written more than a dozen magazine articles on topics from Drupal and content management systems to podcasting with open source tools. Since February 2005, he's engineered and hosted ""The Roadhouse Podcast,"" a weekly hour of ""the finest blues you've never heard."" Since the purchase of an Intel-based Mac Mini, Tony has become both obsessed and fascinated with the operating system he calls ""Linux with a pretty face.""
