Tana George is well rounded technical writer and an independent IT consultant. Her main interests are in the field of operating systems and networking software, and though some real gems of hardware also draw her attention. She is especially attracted by the ideas and achievements of open source software and without being a fanatic (she still uses Windows for some of her projects). She is a passionate user of Linux and open source applications. She has a post-graduate study with emphasis on networks and operating systems. In her free time she likes listening to music, going out with friends, or spending endless hours on the Net. But compared to an interesting project, such idle leisure activities do not stand a chance and often are completely ignored.
