Full Circle 16 is a must read

Full Circle, the independent Ubuntu magazine that Nanci or I talk about every month has put out yet another issue that has things that even showed me some thing I wasn’t aware of. What all is in this issue? How about

• Command and Conquer: Create and move files
• HowTo’s: Create your own Ubuntu (make your own customized LiveCD), the final part of the series on creating your own server, part 5 on their tutorial on using the GiMP Image Editor, and using GNOME-Look.org to change everything from wallpapers to themes to splash screens and screensavers and more.
• My Story: Out with the old, in with the new
• My Opinion: Ubuntu and Kubuntu Themes
• MOTU Interview: Jamie Strandboge
• Ubuntu Women by Elizabeth Bevilacqua, someone I post links to from time to time
• Top 5 Twitter Clients
• and even more

Even if you don’t usually read Full Circle you’ll miss out on some good stuff if you don’t get this month’s issue.

Peng’s links for Sunday, 31 August

Sorry about not posting yesterday. I did have some things to post but I ended up spending so much time in front of my computer watching the coverage of Gustav’s approach on WWL-TV from New Orleans that by the time I was ready to do something else I had to deal with other things.

• Tom Dryer: Ubuntu 8.10 Feature Freeze and Kernel Update. Tom has links to what’s going to be in Ubuntu Intrepid when it gets released, hopefully on 30 October. They also have a different Linux kernel than originally planned, but that’s a good thing. However the devs need people to help test the new kernel to find out what bugs are needing to be fixed. As soon as I find good instructions for using the new Intrepid kernel within Ubuntu Hardy I’ll definitely get it posted.
• Brandon Perry: ClamAV Live CD 2.0 is out in the wild. ClamAV is the standard anti-virus tool for most GNU/Linux distros, and for people who dual boot with Windows you may want to run it fairly often to make sure you haven’t picked up any Windows buglets. The LiveCD will let you scan your system without even having your Linux kernel booted up, letting you get an even better scan.

I hope everyone in the US has a great Labor Day tomorrow. I’m probably going to take the day off from blogging, especially with Gustav expected to hit our home town not just tomorrow, but also on the day before our mom’s birthday (Tuesday). No matter where you are, or where you live if you’re already on the road away from the Louisiana/Mississippi Gulf Coast, you are able to have a safe and fairly happy start to the new week and month.
