Mark has been in the industry since the beginning of Linux, not only was he knowledgeable about the topics, he also knows the history of how Linux came to be and was able to explain why various components exist even though they are antiquated. I learned so much from him and there wasn't a single question he couldn't answer. I truly feel that I scored the jackpot in finding him and I highly recommend Mark to anyone who needs help learning Linux.

Steve P.

He accomplished in 20 minutes what another with years of experience could not accomplish in over an hour. I employed him to set up my new pc with Linux which he easily accomplished, including an important Windows-only program he easily imported from my Windows pc to my Linux pc. If you have a Linux question, situation, or just want someone to properly setup your pc to run Linux, you cannot do better than Matthew. And he's a really nice guy too. :-)

Adam F.

In the end my machine is now stable and running a distribution of Linux that does everything I want. Also, while we let the computer run installations and downloads he was able to talk to me about more general topics in Linux and Computer Science at large that I found very insightful. Can't recommend him enough, a great tutor.
