“Linc is one of the most professional administrators I have had the pleasure of working with. He is hard-working, dilligent, and never resists the urge to extol the benefits of Linux to anyone who will listen.” August 26, 2009

“Linc is a detail-oriented production Sys Admin. Since Linc's arrival, the reliability of our Linux environment has improved dramatically. Our team can rely on Linc to manage and maintain his systems without error. Also, those of us with lesser Linux skills look to him for advice and assistance. I look forward to learning more under Linc's excellent tutelage!

Linc is also a superb PHP coder. As Operations Manager, I am responsible for the layout and maintenance of our datacenter. When I took on this responsibility, I searched for an application that could track all of the things I needed to manage - physical location of hardware, power, heat, etc. Finding nothing suitable, I turned to Linc for help and described what I needed. Linc created, from scratch, a datacenter management application called Rackspace that manages all of these things. Today, Rackspace is an integral part of our datacenter management toolset.” August 18, 2009

“Linc is co-host of one of the most popular streaming audiocasts that I am aware of on the Internet, where Free/Open Source Software are concerned. He works hard to understand the numerous technologies with which he works and about which he and his co-hosts report.

“Linc is extremely knowledgeable regarding many things Linux/Unix. As a former cohost of The Linux Show webcast, I appreciate the work he has done on the Linux Link Tech Show. It is difficult to stay up on both the technologies produced by the Free/Open Source software movement as well as the living community which creates those technologies, but Linc has done an admirable job of both. Linc is an excellent choice for companies wanting to step above "just another coder" to someone who has displayed a much deeper understanding of how F/OSS software is created and grows organically within the market. His experience as a communicator within the F/OSS community also puts him in a place above many of his contemporaries.” August 18, 2009

 

“Programmer and system administrator, Linc Fessenden is truly a Linux expert -- and an adamant supporter of the Open Source community. Author of BashPodder, a free and simple podcatching client for Linux/Unix systems, Linc is also founder and co-host of the LinuxLink TechShow. On this weekly webcast, he often demonstrates his Linux expertise. He is also the founder of the Lehigh Valley (Pennsylvania) Linux User's group. In the spirit of Open Source, one of Linc's current projects is FreeLinuxBox.org, which matches donors of discarded, but operational computers with individuals in need of them.

Linc's advice and expertise have been instrumental in helping me to learn Linux to the point that I provide support for new Linux users myself. His knowledge and inspiration have helped me to be a regular guest Linux expert on a tech radio show, and the creator and host of my own Linux webcast. Thanks Linc!” August 18, 2009
