name: Michael Stutz email: url: privateEmail: tag: updated: Michael lives the Linux life. After downloading and patching together his first system in '93, he fast became a Linux junkie. Long a proponent of the GNU philosophy (publishing books and music albums under the GPL), he sees in Linux a Vision. Enough so that he spends his time developing a custom distribution (based on Debian) and related documentation for writers and other "creative" types and have formed a consulting firm based on GNU/Linux. His company, Design Science Labs, does Linux consulting for small-scale business and art ventures. He has written for Rolling Stone, 2600: The Hacker Quarterly and Alternative Press. He's a staff writer for US Rocker, where he writes about underground rock bands.
