I can usually breeze through an edition in one sitting - but this one has a lot of information to digest and sure to be on my desktop for a while.  Thanks for this!  Job well done!

This is the first edition I have d/l since joining this forum, looks like an enjoyable read, especially,
the feature on Gramps (Genealogical Software). (I have used the portable version in M$ Windoze)

Thanks go to the editor and all the contributors for producing a splendid package full of tips and tricks and features.

Maybe one day, I might contribute something as well. You never know?

I would urge you to d/l the back issues also, starting with last month's issue then continue backwards, at least to the July 2009 issue, when the present magazine staff took over. Lots of good and useful information there, almost all of it still relevant to the current state of PCLinuxOS. It's truly an impressive body of work. ;)

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?

Well you guys done for coming up with the goods yet again - it's the highlight of my month.

One observation though over on the magazine area of the forum http://pclosmag.com/index.html, the links to epub and mobi versions of the magazine don't appear to work at present.

Thanks again for my read tonight.

Thank you so much!

The epub and mobi versions aren't quite ready yet...  we will most likely announce it when they are.

Brianrh,

The links are working now. The ebook versions are created from the HTML version of the magazine, and will always follow the magazine release by a day or so (to give time for the magazine staff member who has volunteered to create them, to create and format the ebook files). I don't/won't hold up the release of the magazine, though, for lack of the ebook formats.

Sorry didn't mean to hassle you folks as your efforts are much appreciated. I'm just like a kid promised a new toy and I just can't wait to get it.

Thanks again but can't stop to talk more, I've an epub to download.

Cheers.
