About

My name is Petar and here I collect tutorials, tips, tricks and other hints that I have found useful. I have used Slackware since 2005 and recently I’ve also taken an interest in CRUX, which has been my primary distribution of choice since 2021.

I have a PhD in immunology and a MSc in biochemistry. I’ve been working in the fields of immunology and evolutionary biology. In the last years, I have been doing a transition from the wet-lab towards bioinformatics.

I maintained a few scripts at SBo, most of which build programs useful for biologists and chemists. At the moment, I maintain two ports collections at CRUX’s portdb: ppetrov (main one) and r4-modules (packages/libraries for R).

I sometimes visit ##slackware, #slackbuilds and #crux at irc.libera.chat as ppetrov^. I frequently read the Slackware forum at LinuxQuestions and occasionally participate in the discussions as solarfields.

Nice you stopped by!
