Heritage: Open Addict, 2006 to 2008
From 2006 to 2008, openaddict.com published as Open Addict, an editorial site covering Linux and BSD systems. It ran three kinds of writing: distribution reviews, interviews with developers, and deployment guides for people running servers.
The reviews covered desktop and small distributions of the period, including PCLinuxOS, Damn Small Linux, and MINIX 3. The interviews were conducted with developers working on operating system and distribution projects, among them Frugalware Linux. The guides were practical and procedural, written for FreeBSD 6.1 and 6.2 server installations and for the filesystem conventions that administrators worked with daily.
The site also ran forums and comment threads, and the writing was organized under numbered nodes and pages in the software of that time. Links to those addresses still exist on the web, and they now resolve here.
That era closed in 2008. This page records what the domain was. It does not reproduce the articles, and the original text is not republished here.
