About Me

My name is Douglas Milne, and I live in Livingston, Scotland.

I have been a Unix administrator for over twenty years, beginning with Solaris back in the 1990's. I now specialise in automation of existing manual processes and procedures. I have worked with Solaris, AIX and HP Unix, and now principally work on RedHat Linux.

In this blog I will document some of the issues I have come across, using notes I have made over the years.

I believe that it is important, in documentation, to take everything from first principles, and I make no apologies for this oversimplification. If you don't like it, tough.
