Low Orbit Flux
Welcome to Low Orbit Flux. If you like technology then you’ve come to the right place.
Our goal is to provide the best technological information anywhere. We focus on several broad areas including:
- Coding and automation
- Servers and systems
- Networking
- Hardware and Software
- Electronics and Robots
- 3D printing
- Crypto currencies
- Data science and engineering
- AI and Machine Learning
- Anything computer related
We try to be as cross platform as possible. We do focus heavily on Linux but also work with other operating systems as well. OSX, Windows, Solaris, BSD, and others are all fine. It depends partially on your personal preference and partially on picking the right tool for the job.
We publish guides, cheat sheets, case studies, and labs.
Highlights
Hadoop Cluster Lab Using Docker
Here is an excellent lab we’re working on. We’ve setup a Hadoop cluster using Docker. We can spin it up and tear it down quickly. We’ve covered all the steps taken in this specific case study. Check it out here:

Arch Linux
Ever wanted to install Arch Linux? We went through the installation and created our own guide. We try to make it concise but still include all necessary information. We’ve included all of the relevant information needed all in one place. We felt this was necessary because the official guide doesn’t include every bit of information within the guide. It forces you to search around a bit if you don’t know what you are doing.
