INX Reaches 1.0

In my (copious - I wish) spare time I contribute in minor and probably annoying ways to a project called INX which stands for “Is Not X” (and is pronounced ‘inks’). It’s a Linux distribution designed to teach the command-line and some of its tools in an easy and fun way.

Today it reached its version 1.0 release (click on this text to learn more).

Congratulations Peter!
