Greetings

The third issue of MandrakeMag : a free mandrakelinux e-zine has recently
been published at http://mandrakemag.tux.com.au

This issue's highlights include an excellent introduction to the BASH shell
by Christopher FA Johnson and a step by step tutorial for installing and
configuring Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 using URPMI.


Furthermore, I invite everyone who reads this newsgroup to take part in the
Great Debate about the Mandrake Default Desktop. Why? Because first
impressions matter. 

As Mandrakelinux marches towards the home, university and corporate desktop,
it is important to take the time and make sure it looks and feels suitable
for all users. Whilst most home desktop users appear to change their
desktop wallpaper as often as their socks - a lot of corporations, schools
and universities seem to stick with what comes straight out-of-the-box.

Please consider the default, blue, out-of-the-box, Mandrakelinux KDE
desktop. Is it the most attractive or user friendly desktop you've ever
seen? How could it be improved? What do you think needs changing, resizing
or renaming?

Please join the MandrakeMag Default Desktop discussion thread on the
MandrakeUsers Board and share your thoughts with the Mandrakelinux
community.

MandrakeMag will then collect your thoughts and prepare a single document to
submit to the Mandrakesoft Interface Team on September 15 2004.

The discussion is here: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=17787


As always, I welcome your submissions, opinions and ideas. Do not hesitate
to contact via email or the Jabber IM service. 

Bye for now!
