Hi John,
|
|
<P>
|
|
Thanks for taking the time for putting together the Gazette. I hope
|
|
you have some time left over for doing work for your employer !!!
|
|
I trust/hope that Phil Hughes will be able to keep the Gazette going ...
|
|
I've certainly enjoyed the Gazette over the last year. One comment
|
|
though. In the most recent issue (#8) the format has changed so that
|
|
the Gazette is no longer (easily) printable, but is split among many
|
|
pages. I know this is supposed to be an e-zine, but I liked the old
|
|
format better :-(. I'd hazard to guess that I'm not alone in this, but
|
|
probably in the minority..... Any chance of putting an organized single
|
|
postscript file on the ftp site? That way those of us loosers who like
|
|
to read from paper at our leisure (and don't have laptops, sigh..) can
|
|
still easily print out a copy of the Gazette. This may understandably
|
|
not fly with Phil, but I thought I'd suggest it and see what happens
|
|
anyway!
|
|
<P>
|
|
Thanks again for all your work!
|
|
<P>

<I>(Yes, you are in the minority, and I must say it is much easier for me if
|
|
the Gazette is in a multi-part format. As a result, it's very likely to
|
|
stay in multi-part format. However, you should note that it can be
|
|
downloaded as one file from the SSC ftp site -- <A HREF="ftp://ftp.ssc.com/lg/">
|
|
ftp.ssc.com/lg/</A>. So you
|
|
could download it, convert it to postscript, print it and read at your
|
|
leisure. We're not going to do all the work for you -- that would take all
|
|
the fun out of it. :-) --Editor)</I>

<P>

This month I've found some really nice utilities and programs in the
|
|
incoming directories of the Linux archive sites. If any of you LG readers
|
|
find (or have written) a program you're excited about, and don't have the time
|
|
or inclination to write a piece for the Gazette, drop me a line telling me
|
|
what you like about it and its location. I'll include a piece on it in next
|
|
month's issue.

|
|
<P>
|
|
I don't know if you are aware, but we have a free LINUX advanced GUI
|
|
toolkit (based on the Microline Widget Library for Motif) on our ftp
|
|
site www.mlsoft.com. The MWL was used to build Netscape Navigator for
|
|
UNIX and is used for mission critial applications by AT&T, 3Com, Merrill
|
|
Lynch, Canon, Netscape, Sun, SGI, etc.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Please download our free LINUX version. We would like to be reviewed or
|
|
mentioned in the Linux Journal to get the word out. Since we are giving
|
|
it away for free, we can not pay for an ad, etc. We welcome your
|
|
feedback and hope that the LINUX community enjoys the free download.

<b>Subject: MindQ Publishing Inc.'s Intro to Programming Java Applets</b><br>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Dear Editor:
|
|
<P>
|
|
"I'm a programmer and I want to spend a few hours getting acquainted with
|
|
Java applet programming. Is there a faster way to learn than books?"
|
|
"I'm not a programmer, but I want to learn about Java without wading through
|
|
Dweeb books. Is there a way?"
|
|
"My programmers are learning Java and I want to keep up without being
|
|
overwhelmed. How do I do that?"
|
|
<P>
|
|
These are comments we overheard at the Web Interactive Show in New York this
|
|
month. The point? It's not just hard-core techies who want to learn about
|
|
Java--or have time to read the books. So where do the rest of us go?
|
|
<P>
|
|
MindQ Publishing Inc.'s "Intro. to Programming Java Applets" is a multimedia
|
|
CD-ROM tutorial designed to teach all of the above--using animation, audio,
|
|
video and hypertext. Experienced programmers can use the hyperlinked table of
|
|
contents to find exactly what they need. Newbies can jump on any one of five
|
|
tours. People inbetween can use a combo. All of them can use the Java
|
|
Developers Kit, or the Launch button to go right to other Java-related
|
|
programs or websites (when the Launch capability is activated). The program
|
|
retails for $49.95, but I can provide you with an eval copy. Please email me:
|
|
MikKass@aol.com, or call me (203)323-4166. Thanks. I look forward to hearing
|
|
from you.

I might be the sort of person you are looking for. I've been hacking
|

on the kernel since around version 0.8. I'm a new professor looking
|
|
to get my name published. I'm teaching a class in System
|
|
Administration using Linux, and I've written before. Does this sound
|
|
like the qualifications for writers for the Linux Journal? How do I

get an article in the Linux Journal?

Hey.

<P>
|
|
I would like to write some small articles for the Gazette. Like some novice
|
|
articles that were in the early articles in LJ. Or maybe it is interesting
|
|
to review some new products or small articles on how to set up different
|

network features.

Hello Marjorie
|
|
<P>
|
|
First, excuse me, my english is not very fluent.
|
|
<P>
|
|
I have several articles, covering general topics, of the intallation and
|
|
configuration of Linux, test of soft, etc... but all in spanish.
|
|
<P>
|
|
My idea is to make a new section on Linux Gazette in others languages
|
|
than english.
|
|
<P>
|
|
This will put LG in a new dimension and, why not, LJ :-)
|
|
<P>
|
|
What do you think about ?
