@NerveBandWhat do you expect from the Linux People.@mejogidCreativity, art & design are not something that will turn better if you add more people to work on it. No matter how many monkeys you put to work they won't make you a Shakespears play.

My father's book starts with chapter 0; it's not that uncommon.

@"bias"No really if you keep repeating the work eventually you will get it right. This is true in *all* fields. To establish art and design as special is just a form of arrogance it doesn't deserve. Essentially people will learn, it's a trainable thing. There is no genetic disposition to design in general it's just something you earn through hard work. Either these people will work hard enough and learn to do it properly or they won't. That is the OSS way as much as anything else.

but this is a good thing. Hopefully this will turn into a print magizine. Ubuntu would be a great match to use that distrobution method. In the US there's not any good Linux Magiznes... the best user oriented ones come from the UK and always include lots of new software, tutorials, news and of course Linux distros. I think a Ubuntu Mag would do really well. It could serve as a distribution method for the distro... Ubuntu's regular six month schedule matches print quite nicely as the print copies won't be obsolete before the ink dries. The Ubuntu community is also perfect for providing a "comprehensive" linux package instead of just cool parts. The Wiki and forums are great...and especially friendly to newbies. A Print book is exactly the right next step. Ubuntu doesn't have a fixed distriution path.. unlike Mandrive or RedHat they don't make money of selling Ubuntu so cooperating with a seperate business selling disks won't hurt them at all.

Then maybe you should stop reading the articles. Really, how hard is it to look at the title, realize you don't want to read about it, and move on?

That's just entirely the wrong attitude to have these days. I wish them the best of luck.

Probably because it's not a phpBB forum.

That is actually a really funny comment. Well, until Dell starts shipping with Linux installed, you kinda need one of the other two to "switch."

Hopefully this will take off positively, seeing as how www.tuxmagazine.com doesn't publish new issues anymore.

Full Circle is a reference to the Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu logos (Circle of Friends), and I think it also references how it covers all four.
