The September PCLOS Magazine, thanks parnote!

[Copper]

In the last brand new issue of PCLOS Magazine, the chief editor parnote revealed a real gem about Synaptic.  Only ONE check box to click and you can copy your tested and true installation to another machine or save a "non-installed copy" of your system. Just save the Synaptic installation information in one file and your get all installed programs back anytime. Of course, your home directory has many settings for them, too.

I'm assembling a new i7 box for PCLOS to replace my shaky P4 Prescott box and parnote dropped this piece of dynamite for me. Well, to me this is new info, but I'm just a dumb user. The magazine is free for all, but a good piece of info like this might just squeeze another donation out of my pocket!

P.S. I'm not sure if this should go to "Testimonials" but the topic is about "installing software".

P.P.S   Edit: I changed the subject line, I'm sorry about the tone of the original subject. My only purpose was to praise, not to scare anyone...

Copper,

I agree with you that the September issue of the Magazine is a winner. However, and I am sure you didn't mean what some might interpret by the word "Last" in the subject line. I am sure that Paul and the team will produce more and more issues. Perhaps you might change the subject line to read "Re: The September PCLOS Magazine, thanks parnote!"

I agree. When I read the subject line, I thought "What? Oh no!"

Subject line changed. Sorry about my goof...

Thanks for all the great comments!!! We try our best...  (I sure hope it isn't the last, but only the latest!)

Let me remind you... if there is a particular subject you think we ought to cover in the magazine, please head on over to the PCLinuxOS Magazine section and post your article idea in the first stickied thread entitled Magazine Article Ideas (http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,86648.0.html)

parnote and the few people in rest of the staff have thought of loads of things to cover, but we don't know everything!  It shouldn't take any of you more than a minute to nip over there and add a sentence to that thread...  I still have one or two ideas, but they won't last forever..... and I think you might complain if the magazine only had 2 or 3 articles in it...

(Edit---  Geez, I didn't mean to scare you all off....)

Thanks! I'm glad you found the article helpful.

To reiterate what Meemaw stated ... we definitely could use the community's help. We can't think of everything. In fact, we can't write everything. So -- at the very least -- head on over to the article suggestion thread and let us know your ideas. Ideally, if it's something you know, why not write an article for the magazine and share it with the entire PCLinuxOS community? Don't worry ... me, Meemaw and our troop of proof readers will make you sound like a writer, even if you're not.
