| I just learned that Phil Lavigna, author of 
| the nice ulteoadmin.com website has passed 
| away on April, 1st. Phil was a very talented, 
| humble and perfectionist guy. He wrote several 
| books on Linux, including âTest driving Linuxâ 
| at OâReilly. I knew him for a long time, we 
| spent many nights on writing contents and 
| press-releases for Mandrakesoft.

The World Is Mourning The Loss Of Bruno Knaapen â Linux Advocate

,----[ Quote ]
| I knew little about the man called Bruno. I
| knew he was a Linux advocate and he knew Linux
| inside out. He was patient with those who were
| trying to learn the OS and he always had the
| answer to any question that was posted in the
| forum. Looking over in the Scotâs Newsletter
| Forum, All Things Linux, Bruno has posted over
| 37,000 replies to questions or information for
| Linux users. He also had an excellent site
| called Tips For Linux Users in which he posted
| everything you needed to know about Linux.

Dearest Friends, Students, Admirers of Bruno Knaapen...

,----[ Quote ]
| In Amsterdam, where Bruno lives, they have the
| option of "dignified death" (euthanasia by
| choice). Bruno has reached that point. He will
| be surrounded by his family as he takes his
| final journey beyond this existence. The time
| is set for this Saturday morning (Amsterdam
| time).

The Bruno Knaapen Technology Learning Center is Established

,----[ Quote ]
| It was just a short time ago that Scot Finnie
| announced a long-time Linux Advocate had
| fallen terribly Ill.  His name is Bruno
| Knaapen and he is the author and maintainer
| of Brunolinux.com.  We wrote about Bruno at
| Blog of helios and told you that we planned
| to dedicate a technology learning center to
| him.  I began speaking with different people
| about various possibilities and locations for
| the center.  It became obvious after a short
| time that we were not going to be able to
| find a suitable place any time soon.
