Dear Readers

After migrating full time to Linux and substituting most of the softwares I used to use with their FOSS Substitutes, I have now started a new blog that will chronicle my experiences with FOSS. As I will learn to use FOSS Products and Technologies, I will keep updating my blog.

Hopefully, this blog will serve as a repository of information newbies in FOSS would find useful. You are always welcome to make suggestions, give feedback or make contributions.

And I’d recommend you to subscribe to the blog. Check out the blog here: http://blogs.kinshuksunil.com/fossfutcha
