 Welcome to the official Bluepoint Institute alumni bulletin board and Bluepoint Linux Users Elite ( BLUE) forum on the Internet. We have just shifted to a modded version of MAJ - bliki/bb/ml2bb modifications will be pushed live one at a time until we reach a comfortable level of efficiency. Check back often for code and package repositories, articles, featured Bluepointers, special interest groups, and bi-directional mailing list to bulletin board integration.

Hello Bluers and the rest of the Open Source Community.
I would like to tell everyone that I do not hold the RHCE title that is incorrectly advertised on our book, Foundations of CentOS Linux: Linux On the Cheap. It is unfortunate that Apress has not yet changed my description to remove that title and that error propagated on most, if not all, online bookstores such as Amazon.com. If the changes are already in progress, I believe that the online bookstores would take a little while to update their own copies of our author descriptions. The RHCE author on our book is Chivas.
I hope this clears the title problem that might have caused confusion.
Regards,
Ryan Baclit |

Why MAJ?

We get this a lot. Why not use phpBB, WordPress, SMF, vBulletin, Plone, Drupal, Joomla!, Mambo, Movable Type, or some other mainstream publishing platform for bluepointer.org BETA? Here's why:
MAJ is lightweight. It's relatively fast, even on virtual machines or old hardware.
MAJ is simple. An 11-year old helped develop it. 
MAJ is ours. We know every line of code so we can make modifications, fix security issues, and extend it as quickly and as often as we want to.
MAJ has been secure and efficient so far. It has been powering Bluepoint Foundation for years!
MAJ is my other nickname.  |
