Levinux – A Tiny Version of Linux for Education Levinux (download ~20 MB) is a tiny virtual Linux server that runs from USB or Dropbox with a double-click (no install or admin rights required) on Macs, Windows or Linux PCs—making it the perfect learning environment, and way to run & keep your code safe for life! Think of it as an introduction to old-skool “short stack” development—more relevant now then ever as Linux/Unix gets embedded into everything. What I propose… Even if you never programmed before, I propose starting teaching you how to do it “old skool” within minutes reading this. Download and double-click the Levinux file, and follow the instructions. It could expand your abilities and alter your life. My approach is at odds with today’s paralyzing array of tool-choice — and that is precisely why it will give you an edge over the competition. In short, I propose you take up the “core technologies” that lurk underneath everything, instead of the more heavyweight modern software fads. This will let you achieve greater mastery over a smaller set of timeless and infinitely useful tools. They will serve you for the rest of your life, and even if they don’t become your main thing, it will always be like always having the Swiss Army Knife of information tech in your pocket… though there is also no reason you couldn’t build an empire on it.
