The Free Software
A little page, in Italian, about the Free Software (or Open Source Software), the GNU project and Linux. We also have the (in)famous Halloween documents, which describe very well what Microsoft thinks about Linux.
Free Documentation
Some useful documents about Linux, programming, HTML and modems.
Laptop
In the '99 I bought an Acer TravelMate 312T. Read about my experience installing Linux and Windows 98 on it.

The notebook came whith Windows 98 Italian version, which has an annoying bug with SYSTRAY.EXE and PCMCIA. There is a page where Microsoft acknowledges the bug, but does not provide a fix. Here there is the page revised by me, it contains the patch.

In 2001 I upgraded its RAM and hard disk, here you can find some hints to disassemble the notebook and some photos of the inside.

Some time ago I had also a Compaq Contura Aero 4/25. Here are some FAQ, diagrams, photos. Also some software to boot the notebook from the serial line!

Software download
In this page you can find some programs I wrote. There is a little game of cards (Windows and Linux), a tool for knowing what changes in your system when you install a Windows program, a program for driving voice modems under Linux, a reminder for do-it-yourself motorbike maintenance.

All the programs are distributed under GPL, so they are packed with their sources (VisualBASIC, C, ...).

I also mantain a list of very useful utilities, those I can't live without. They are free o shareware, so you can download them from the Top Ten Page.

A little virus collection
How good is your antivirus protection? Test it against some computer viruses that I found in the wild.

Here are my Netscape bookmarks. I keep theme here because when I'm on the Internet not from home or the office, I don't remember an URL!
