[04-05-08] This homepage has been down for the last week due to insolvency of my former webhoster. I have moved successfully to another and now it does work again.
[03-10-02] I have done some improvements: the Linux-section has been updated, the network section has been added and all the screenshot are renewed.
The navigation bar now shows each site and is now a real list, so text-based browser can display the structure of my homepage. Also a display issue with Konqueror has been fix. At the bottom of each site there is a footer that displays the date when I updated the site. I saw that my site comply with the WAI, so I added a WAI image in the footer.
[03-09-22] One more time: On my PGP/MIME-list there are now Kuvert and PGP Universal.
[03-09-10] The PGP/MIME-list gets bigger and bigger: Balsa, Mozilla Thunderbird und The Bat! are included.

[02-09-22] I have updated a lot of my screenshots in my Linux-section; I guess they are quite nice. Besides, some search engine have added me to the databases und now my sites are found with keywords like "Linux" or "PGP/MIME". My Linux sites seem to be that convincing that I've made some guys to switch to Linux.
[02-04-21] Welcome to my first homepage! I have worked for almost half a year, with several intermissions, and I hope you like the layout and will be able to gather some interesting information.
You can find information about computers in general but mostly Linux. I want to encourage you to try Linux and OpenOffice.org, the free office suite.
