Do you have geek written over all of your face? Have you turned your back on Windows years ago? Is Kernel your second name? Do you like to write about Linux? Tell others what they can do with it? If that's what you like and who you are you might be interested in joining the Ghacks team to write exclusively about the operating system that you love.

We are looking for a dedicated writer who knows the ins and outs of the operating system. Who is able to write articles suited for beginners who never experienced Linux in their live but also for long term Linux users who might know Linux as good as you do.

If you love to tell others about things you like you might want to apply for this job. We are looking for someone who can write between 1-5 articles per weekday. Ideally you are a English native speaker but we are happy to hire non-native speakers as well.

Your work will be compensated obviously and you will be paid at the beginning of each month. Preferred payment method is PayPal or bank transfer depending on your location in the world.

Please use the contact from to apply for this job. We would like to read at least one 250+ word article about Linux written by you to get an impression of your writing skills.

So, what are you waiting for? Apply today..

    Well, I for one will be looking forward to see what becomes of this request that Martin has posted! I am slowly migrating to Linux (Ubuntu) or beginning to be “multi-OS’ed” you might say. Excited to see what happens! Go for it Martin!!

    Please do not turn Ghacks in another slashdot! I beg you! No having any linux was GOOD for Ghacks as far as I am concerned.

    Hi, I’m not sure if I fit the profile, since my English is far from perfect and I’ve been a proud but not very experienced Ubuntu user (I’ve been using it for about tree years). I’m pretty excited though because now I know I’ll be reading more Linux-related stuff here at gHacks. It’s also good to know that there are some candidates that seem to have very good qualifications. Nevertheless if for some strange reason, nobody wants to take the job, I’ll be glad to contribute to this great blog.

    Hi Martin!
    I write for Linux here http://www.helpforlinux.blogspot.com
    You can find many quality articles in there, even Lifehacker featured one of my articles about GIMP.
    It’d be cool to blog about Linux at gHacks!
    I use Ubuntu and @ Dotan I use MS Office 2007 in Ubuntu!
    So yeah I’d like to put in my name!

    Good thing you didn’t mention grammar checking- there are no grammar checkers for Linux! Losers!

    I posted this post to the Ubuntu mailing list. I can think of a few names there that I’d love to see writing for Ghacks.
