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.
