Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote
|
|
giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our
|
|
new mirror sites. And, of course, thanks to Michael Montoure for all his
|
|
help with graphics and HTML checking.

<IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="./gx/bee3.gif">
|
|
This month has been a very busy one for me. I've been discovering just
|
|
how much more work there is to managing a print magazine, <I>Linux Journal</I>,
|
|
as opposed to
|
|
an electronic one. I'm afraid I've had much less time for <I>LG</I> than before.
|
|
If you've written and didn't get a response, this is the reason. It also
|
|
means that I'm too close to time to post <i>LG</i> and too little
|
|
of it is together -- maybe half as I write this message.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="./gx/bee3.gif">
|
|
However, I have hired an Administrative Assistant, Amy Kukuk, to help
|
|
with <I>LJ</I> correspondence and article tracking. She's also going to
|
|
help me with <I>LG</I> by reading the news groups and writing the News
|
|
Bytes column. So with her good help, I expect the pace to slow
|
|
considerably.
|
|
<P>
|
|
While <I>Linux Gazette</I> is free for all our readers, it is not free
|
|
for its publisher, SSC -- they do pay me for the time I spend putting
|
|
it together. In order to help pay for these costs, we've decided to
|
|
make <I>LG</I> the PBS of online ezines by having sponsors from the
|
|
Linux community. As I am
|
|
sure most of you noticed, the Front Page now has a Sponsor section.
|
|
We appreciate very much the financial contribution that InfoMagic, our
|
|
first sponsor, has made to help us defray our costs.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Sorry to be late, I haven't been able to get to our web server since
|
|
last Wednesday (almost a whole week!).
|
|
<P>
|
|
Have fun!
