Links

This page contains interesting links and things I check regularly.

My company's site is at www.fizl.co.uk.  My old company's site was at www.zorg.co.uk but I am no longer running it, though the idea might become a product of Fizl.

Of special mention is Ted.

Linux Stack

Alpine Linux

Docker (on Alpine)
