We all love it when things run on time. There are certain things which need to happen when the clock strikes the hour - buses and trains need to arrive, a cron job on your server needs to spark some script or the other to life, your kids need to be at school.

A great deal is being made of the fact that Linux creator Linus Torvalds has switched from using the KDE desktop to using GNOME, something he did many months ago, and something he mentioned in passing during an interview last month.

After flirting with tech from 1989 onwards, Sam Varghese began to
experiment with Linux in 1998. A couple of years later, he began using
the Debian distribution as a single-boot system for his personal use.
From that point onwards his interest grew and he has since written
widely about free and open source software, with a great deal of his
writings based on his own experiences, rather than anecdotal evidence.
Open Sauce will focus on a genre of software that is present everywhere
but rarely acknowledged; a genre that has little eye-candy but does most of
the heavy lifting; a genre that is designed and written by people whose
accomplishments are only occasionally recognised. Above all this blog will
follow the KISS principle - Keep It Simple, Stupid.
