About Mojavelinux
Mojavelinux was founded by open source advocate and developer, Dan Allen. This website serves many purposes, with the underlying theme of open source software. In one respect, it is the home of a consulting firm that specializes in building applications, tools, and services based on open source software and open standards. Mojavelinux.com also serves as a notebook to collect an assortment of programming knowledge and a sounding board to advocate free and open source platforms, such as Linux.
Creating a Name for Myself
The origin of the name "mojavelinux" comes from a rather deceptive ploy. There is no doubting it. I live, breathe, eat, sleep, and love Linux. When I first got into Linux back in 2000, not too many people had heard of it. I figured, if I could at least get people to say the world Linux, perhaps I could get the term under people's belts for when it did hit big. So I was determined to use a name with "Linux" in it somewhere. At the time, I was living in California, so something related to deserts seemed rather slick. I picked up the name "Mojave" from that interest, and hence arrived at the aggregate "mojavelinux." What I didn't anticipate was the general lack of geography in the minds of most Americans. As it turns out, "mojavelinux" is suprisingly difficult to get people to spell correctly.
