5 Reasons to Learn Linux in 2017
Linux is great to know even if it is not your primary or exclusive operating system, but there are excellent things you can do with Linux that you cannot do with Windows systems on an at home basis. These are my top five reasons to learn something about Linux in 2017.
1.) Cool Home Projects - https://youtu.be/a7RXsBQjGNM
2.) Easy Home Servers - https://youtu.be/a7RXsBQjGNM?t=3m27s
3.) Low Cost Applications for Startups - https://youtu.be/a7RXsBQjGNM?t=4m17s
4.) Easier to Rebuild Your Computer - https://youtu.be/a7RXsBQjGNM?t=6m58s
5.) Give More Life to Old Computers - https://youtu.be/a7RXsBQjGNM?t=10m10s

Lame is a great application for terminal-based MP3 manipulation. This video looks at how I use Lame with a script for audiobook production.
#Lame #Linux #MP3
My Script:
#Make directory if it does not exist
mkdir -p 32
#converts mp3s to 32kb with lame
for f in *mp3; do lame --mp3input -b 32 "$f" 32/"${f%}"; done

HOW T
how-to-pick-a-web-hosting-company
As a web developer I have seen too many times people buy a web hosting account and then look for a web designer to build a site. Sadly there are a lot of bad hosting companies out there. Hopefully this video will help you figure out the best accounts to get.
My Recommended Hosts:
A2 Hosting: https://tlm.li/a2h
Siteground: https://tlm.li/sgh
InMotion: https://tlm.li/imh
Digital Ocean: https://tlm.li/doh
My list:
5.) Avoid EIG Hosting
4.) Avoid Hosts that Upsell
3.) Look for CPanel as a manger
2.) Support Free SSLs
1.) Has good phone support
