I am 23 years old. I have been using computers since age 15, from MSX Hotbit
|
|
to Linux GNU/Debian 2.2. I currently work at Linux Solutions at Brazil. We

mantain a site OLinux
|
|
(<A HREF="http://www.olinux.com.br">www.olinux.com.br</A>) with a Introduction,
|
|
Programming, Programs, Games, Security and Interviews sections and news about
|
|
Linux everyday of the week. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback from
|
|
Brazilian Linux users. We have already published more than 100 articles and 500
|
|
news items in about 4 months.

I'm currently working on completing my BS degree in Computer Science at Lakeland
|
|
College (begun earlier at the University of California, Riverside). I've been
|
|
involved in computer support for the past 6 years, via phone, fax, and email,
|
|
and I have created documentation for use by end users (some articles in the
|
|
Microsoft Knowledge Base) and other support staff (published in-house as either
|
|
individual documents or on the support intranet), and I contributed some
|
|
chapters to "Special Edition Using KDE" from Que publishing (now in print). I
|
|
have done some application development on MS-DOS platforms and have begun
|
|
developing a pair of applications for my Linux box. I am currently employed as
|
|
a software developer working in C++ with Informix on a mix of Linux and AIX
|
|
servers. When I'm not playing with or writing about Linux, I can usually be
|
|
found working on my model railroad.

networks and hacking on hardware and software whenever he runs out of cruising

money. He's been playing and working with computers since the Elder Days

I live and work in Bratislava, Slovakia as a library
|
|
information worker, translator and research reader at the Institute for
|
|
Child Psychology. I published some of my poetry here and in USA, I
|
|
translated some books from English (e.g., Zen Flesh, Zen Bones by Paul
|
|
Reps). You can see some of my stories and poetry at

|
<P> Last month I said <EM>Linux Gazette</EM> would have a new Editor.
|
|
The announcement turned out to be premature, so I am remaining the Editor
|
|
for the time being.
|
|
|
|
<P> Thanks to SOFCOM for offering the <EM>Gazette's</EM> first
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.sfcom.com/"><STRONG>Japanese translation</STRONG></A>.
|
|
You've been added to the <A HREF="../mirrors.html">mirrors page</A>.
|
|
I'll have to take our readers' word for it that the site is displaying
|
|
correctly, since my browser doesn't do Japanese characters.
|
|
|
|
<P> This issue features four articles from the OLinux site in Brazil (<A
|
|
HREF="http://www.olinux.com.br">http://www.olinux.com.br</A> -- Portuguese).
|
|
Fernando Correa and Paulo Baptista have been very cooperative with
|
|
<EM>LG</EM>, translating their interviews with Linux personalities for us
|
|
and the like. We at <EM>Linux Gazette</EM> like to see the growth of Linux in
|
|
non-English- speaking countries, and we're happy for the work OLinux is doing
|
|
with their Brazilian portal. Latin America has experienced tremendous growth
|
|
in Linux use over the past year, as Mexican schools have adopted it as a
|
|
low-cost alternative to Windows, and Conectiva has released native Spanish and
|
|
Portuguese Linux distributions. We'd like to cover more such endeavors in
|
|
other parts of the world, if readers would be willing to send in reports from
|
|
their country or translate some of their articles into English for us.
|
|
|
|
<P> This issue marks the debut of a new <EM>Linux Gazette</EM> logo and
|
|
navigation buttons. As you know, some readers have said it's time for
|
|
something new, so we're giving it to them. The blue-silver chrome color was
|
|
chosen for its "industrial" look, to represent that <EM>Linux Gazette</EM> is
|
|
about putting Linux to work, getting it to do what you need. Of course, it's
|
|
still about making Linux just a little more fun, too!
|
|
|
|
<P> After all, if your work is chosen carefully, so that it furthers your
|
|
personal goals (whatever they are), then the work will be fun. For instance, I
|
|
enjoy Python and Zope, so I'm happy that my work gives me the chance to learn
|
|
stuff I'd want to learn anyway.
