Welcome to tuxedo.org!

We are proud to host the web pages of Eric S. Raymond, which are the home of many Linux and hacker-culture resources, including the home pages for fetchmail, the master terminfo/termcap file, the Jargon File, and INTERCAL. These pages also include the How To Become A Hacker FAQ, and many other useful and amusing things.

Some of his most popular works include:

The Cathedral and the Bazaar: Analysis of how and why the Linux development model works!

Homesteading the Noosphere: A followup to The Cathedral and the Bazaar: the property and ownership customs of the open-source culture.

Halloween Documents! What does Microsoft think of Linux? The last week of October 1998, a confidential Microsoft memorandum on their strategy against Linux and Open Source software was leaked to Eric ... is Linux Microsoft's Halloween nightmare?
