Welcome to the First Car Insurance gnu Linux page. This page is here to celebrate
the Linux operating system, and the dedicated volunteers who build it.
First Car Insurance uses linux technology, notably Debian Debian.org
and Redhat Redhat.org
.
First Car Insurance is a site that helps users to get the cheapest car insurance
quote by surveying all the important sites and ranking the results - insurance
premiums change quickly and so I have to constantly monitor the state
of the market and use scripts to do some of the work. The cgi and many
other programs are written in Perl or Bash or a combination.
Linux offers the tools needed for a demanding server environment.
The Linux developers are busy building tools that they believe that
the world needs, not the tools that will best enrich the owners of the
software company.
- First Car Insurance Search Engine ranking script. I have
build a script ( Bash ) which ranks any site by page on the search engine,
for any selection of keywords - if you would like a copy then contact
me on simon@First Car Insurance.com
. ( Currently available for alta vista, excite,
google )
