Since that time he has used Linux and various GNU-software. He lives in Essen,
|
|
Germany.
|
|

My assistant, Amy Kukuk, did all the work again this month.
|
|
She's so good to me. Thank you, Amy.
|

<P>
|

Our beautiful new logo was designed by our very own Graphics Muse, Michael
|
|
J. Hammel. (He used The Gimp.) Thanks, Michael.

|
|
Well, this is the last issue that Amy and I will be working on. We are
|
|
turning over the editorship to Viki Navrotilova. Here's a bit about Viki:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<B>Viktorie Navratilova has been using Linux for the past 4 years, and has
|
|
been active in both the Israeli and Chicago Linux Users' Groups.
|
|
She started using Linux because of its network capabilities, and then
|
|
stayed for the compilers. </B>
|
|
<P>
|
|
I know Viki will have as much fun as we have and do a wonderful job. Show
|
|
your support and send her lots of articles.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<I>LG</I> will remain under the guardianship of <I>Linux Journal</I> and
|
|
neither the web address or e-mail address will change. Articles from
|
|
<I>LG</I> will continue to appear in <I>LJ</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Have fun! Bye-Bye!
