Our Story
OSTechNix (Open Source, Technology, Nix*) was founded in 2012 by Senthilkumar Palani (also known as SK), a Linux systems administrator and open-source software enthusiast. As a personal blog, OSTechNix initially started as a way for SK to share his experiences with Linux and open-source software. Over time, the blog grew in popularity and began to attract other Linux enthusiasts and open-source software developers.
Today, OSTechNix is maintained by a team of technical writers, developers, and Linux enthusiasts from around the world. Our mission to become a place where we could build on the extensive knowledge of our technical writers, to make our website the ideal place where we can publish the Latest News, How-to articles, Tutorials and Tips & Tricks about Free and Open-Source software and technology.
