Linux HQ is currently the work of a small group of people. Working from our homes, we each work in our own area to support the site.

Please note that the email addresses here are for contacting us regarding our individual work here at Linux HQ. If you have comments about the website in general, want to report broken or out of date links or require tech support (which, unfortunately, we often do not have time to provide), you should send mail to our webmaster.

Here are the people who make up the Linux Headquarters team:

• Michael McLagan, General Manager
• Magnus Erixzon, Web Developer

Each has provided us with a small personal biography:

• Michael McLagan

  Michael began working with computers in 1979 at the prompting of a family friend. Learning how to play and then modify the original Star Trek game on a Heathkit H8 was his first exposure to computers. Over the course of the next 4 years he tuned his skills on the Apple ][ series.

  Starting work in the field in 1983 as a consultant to small business and local school boards, he expanded his areas of knowledge to include a very wide gambit of hardware, software and digital circuitry. During his ongoing work he has worked as a project manager, system analyst, programmer, circuit designer and at other related tasks. Areas of expertise include Linux, OS/2, and Windows 3.1. He has also done extensive work in developing drivers for various PC boards.

  Initially getting involved with Linux in late 1992 as a replacement for UUPC (a UUCP implementation for IBM PCs) with more services, it quickly became evident that Linux would grow into a force to be reckoned with. Believing that someone needed to step forward and take on the task of promoting Linux to the world at large, he registered linux.org in May 1994.

  Michael's duties at Linux Headquarters include assembling, installing and configuring computers, monitoring and maintaining the network, developing support applications, writing marketing materials, coordinating advertising sales, and overseeing business administration.

• Magnus Erixzon

  Magnus first began using computers in the mid-80's. He got a Commodore 64 and he began programming some BASIC. He mainly used it for gaming though. When he later got an Amiga 500, his interest in programming increased. He tried various languages (AMOS, C, E) but mainly settled in with Assembler programming. He entered the demo scene.

  Magnus began using Linux around 1994-95. Since then, he has been administrating many different servers and programming in various languages.

  He is located in Sweden, where he is a student at The Luleå University of Technology. He is studying to become a Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering.

  Magnus' present duties at Linux Online! include the development of server side scripts, databases, and web applications.
