Full Circle Issue 5
Editorial
Welcome to a bumper issue of Full Circle. Not only do you get an extra preview article on the soon to be released Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10), but you get an extra How-To on how to file a bug report on Launchpad, courtesy of Matthew Revell from Canonical and the new My Opinion feature! We're just too good to you folks, but you're worth it.
As I write this Editorial, yet another large company has seen the light and switched from Windows. MindBridge saved 'bunches of money' (their words, I'm sure it's a technical term) by moving to Linux. See our revamped News pages for more Linux news.
More exciting to the many Ubuntu users out there was the news that AMD will release code and specifications on ATI graphics cards which should delight many an ATI owner. Although I'd say just buy an NVIDIA (I'm joking! I'm joking!)
And as a KDE user, I'm so tempted to try the latest beta2 of KDE4, it really does look nice. I've touched on it briefly in my Gutsy Gibbon article and I think a slimmed down file manager (Dolphin) is a great idea. And it'll be nice to get some fancy effects on my KDE desktop without some sort of glitch. With an older NVIDIA card and KDE I've always had some glitch here and there with Compiz, Beryl and Compiz Fusion.
Anyway, enough babbling from me, I hope you enjoy this bumper issue and please, keep those emails coming! I promise you that we read every last one of them.
All the best,
Ronnie
