+Back in December of 2008 I offered myself up as a stand-in for Robert Clipsham (the original author and creator of Command & Conquer), and produced my first article that appeared back in issue FCM#21. As you may have guessed, this became a permanent column for me. This month, I’d like to take a look back at what’s changed for Linux and for C&C in particular, over the last 79 months (about 6 and a half years!). But first, a bit of backstory!**

+Un petit ajout à l'article du mois dernier : Philippe (de l'équipe de traduction française) a eu la gentillesse de me signaler un site Web qu'il aime, appelé Top Coder (http://www.topcoder.com). Il y a la liste des précédents défis et il semble proposer une variété d'autres défis dotés de prix. De ce que j'ai vu, ils semblent également organiser une convention une fois par an. Pour ceux qui cherchent quelque chose d'un peu plus compétitif, ce pourrait être pour vous ! Et maintenant, retour à votre programme habituel...
-I was first introduced to Linux in the form of Ubuntu Warty Warthog (4.10) in 2004 by a tech-savvy friend of mine, who was running it on his laptop. After my interest in it, he set me up with an account, and from then on I was constantly borrowing his laptop… From there I moved on to live CDs on my own PC at home. It took me until 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) to finally take the plunge, as the PC at home was running a wireless card that was unsupported until then. What followed was a fairly frustrating experience of semi-working wireless. I went distro hunting for the first time, and tried everything from Enlightenment to Fedora to Debian. Eventually, I looped around to Ubuntu again. By now, it was 2006 or 2007, and I started being active on the Ubuntu Forums, using what I had learned to help out. Based on my account’s profile, I had posted 1500+ times between 2007 and 2012. Since then, I’ve switched to Arch Linux, and was active in that forum for a time. For the last two or so years, I’ve focused mainly on C&C, though that may change in the near future. Between issues 0 and 21, I was an avid reader of FCM, and learned quite a few things there too. So when I was given the chance to help out in 2008, I accepted.
-My time with FCM
+En décembre 2008, je me suis proposé comme remplaçant de Robert Clipsham (l'auteur original et créateur de Command & Conquer), et j'ai produit mon premier article paru dans le FCM n° 21. Comme vous l'aurez deviné, c'est devenu une rubrique permanente pour moi. Ce mois-ci, je voudrais porter un regard rétrospectif sur ce qui a changé, pour Linux et pour C&C en particulier, au cours des 79 derniers mois (environ 6 ans et demi !). Mais d'abord, un peu d'histoire !

+Linux m'a été présenté sous la forme d'Ubuntu Warty Warthog (4.10) en 2004 par un de mes amis technophiles, qui l'utilisait sur son ordinateur portable. Voyant mon intérêt, il m'a créé un compte et, à partir de là, je lui empruntais constamment son ordinateur... De là, je suis passé aux « live CD » sur mon PC à la maison. Il m'a fallu jusqu'à la 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) pour finalement franchir le pas, car le PC à la maison avait une carte WiFi qui était jusque-là non prise en charge. S'en est suivi l'expérience assez frustrante d'un WiFi capricieux. Je suis allé à la chasse aux « distribs » pour la première fois et j'ai tout essayé, de Enlightenment et Fedora à Debian. Finalement, je suis revenu à Ubuntu. C'était en 2006 ou 2007, et j'ai commencé à être actif sur les forums Ubuntu, en utilisant ce que j'avais appris pour aider les autres. Le profil de mon compte indique que j'ai posté plus de 1 500 fois entre 2007 et 2012. Depuis lors, je suis passé à Arch Linux et j'ai été actif dans ce forum-là pendant un temps. Ces deux ou trois dernières années, je me suis concentré principalement sur C&C, mais cela pourrait changer dans un avenir proche. Entre les numéros 0 et 21, je fus un lecteur assidu du FCM et j'ai appris pas mal de choses là aussi. Quand on m'a donné l'occasion d'aider en 2008, j'ai donc accepté.

+**My time with FCM
 As many of you may remember, Command & Conquer was very strongly focused on the command-line interface for the first 40 or so articles I wrote. From there, I moved on to configuration files, GUI applications, and eventually to programming aspects. This was for two main reasons - first of all, that Linux was enabling users to do more and more using GUI applications or settings, and second of all, that a lot of the articles I originally wrote, were still viable today. This means that I had to find new topics to write about, and found new issues that needed solutions. For a year or so, I was also trying to transpose solutions from Arch Linux to Ubuntu systems, since that was my distro of choice, and most issues present in one, were present in another. However, based off the difference in package managers, and desktop environments, it was sometimes challenging to get the solutions to work in Ubuntu.
-It was around this time that I started to get more emails from readers with suggestions, comments, or requests for articles. Often, they focused around programming (typically Bash), or issues with command-line tools. As anyone who has reached out to me may know, if the issue seems widespread enough, or the solution is worth noting, it will typically appear in C&C a month or two later.

-As for how changes in Linux and Ubuntu have impacted Command & Conquer, it has done so in two ways. First, the decreased reliance upon the CLI for day-to-day tasks has forced me to change the focus of some articles (ushered in largely during the transition to Unity), and secondly by the expansion of the Linux kernel. Some of the tips and tricks I wrote about in the early days for drivers, or graphical issues, are much, much rarer. This is due to new drivers being developed, more being integrated into the Ubuntu kernel, or simply updates to the existing drivers or software (such as the Xserver no longer requiring an xorg.conf file). That being said, other aspects have stayed very much the same. My articles on Vim, for example, work just as well today as they did when I wrote them (issues 54 & 55). Going back even further, the articles on Bash functions, aliases, and history work the same way (Issues 21, 24, 25, 27, 35, 36, and a few more!).
+Mon temps avec le FCM
-During my time with Linux, I’ve seen many things about the kernel and software improve, and hardware support improve in leaps and bounds. I recently installed Ubuntu 15.04 on an old HP dv6000 laptop with a Broadcom wireless chip that never seemed to work properly with Ubuntu pre 12.04. Between 12.04 and 14.04, there were some conflicts between wl and b43 drivers. This time around though, all I needed was an ethernet connection for about 15 minutes. After that, everything was working fine. This was a massive improvement over 4.10, where my old USB wireless dongle wasn’t even recognized. Not to mention the existence of Ubuntu Touch, new Ubuntu phones, and Android. If this is how much Linux can change and improve over the course of roughly 10 years through our community, then I’m excited to see what the next 10 bring!
+Comme beaucoup d'entre vous se souviennent peut-être, Command & Conquer a été très fortement axé sur la ligne de commande pendant les quelques 40 premiers articles que j'ai écrits. Ensuite, je suis passé à des fichiers de configuration, des applications graphiques et, enfin, à des aspects de programmation. Ce fut pour deux raisons principales : tout d'abord, Linux permettait aux utilisateurs de faire de plus en plus de choses en utilisant des applications ou des paramétrages graphiques et, en second lieu, beaucoup des articles que j'ai écrits à l'origine sont encore d'actualité aujourd'hui. Ce qui signifie que je devais trouver de nouveaux sujets sur lesquels écrire et trouver de nouvelles questions qui demandaient des réponses. Pendant un an ou deux, je étais également en train de transposer des solutions de Arch Linux aux systèmes Ubuntu, puisque ce fut la distrib que je préférais, et que la plupart des problèmes présents sur l'une étaient présents sur l'autre. Toutefois, vu la différence de gestionnaires de paquets et des environnements de bureau, il était parfois difficile de faire fonctionner les solutions sous Ubuntu.
-How has FCM changed?
+C'est vers cette époque que j'ai commencé à recevoir plus de courriels de lecteurs avec des suggestions, commentaires ou demandes d'articles. Souvent, ils se focalisaient sur la programmation (généralement Bash), ou des problèmes avec les outils de ligne de commande. Comme tous ceux qui m'ont contacté peuvent le savoir, si la question semble assez répandue, ou que la solution est à noter, elle apparaît généralement dans C&C un mois ou deux plus tard.

+L'impact que les changements dans Linux et Ubuntu ont eu sur Command & Conquer a été double. Premièrement, la diminution de l'utilisation du CLI pour des tâches quotidiennes m'a forcé à changer l'orientation de certains articles (inauguré largement au cours de la transition vers Unity) et, par ailleurs, par l'expansion du noyau Linux. Certains des trucs et astuces dont je parlais dans les premiers temps pour les pilotes, ou des problèmes graphiques, sont beaucoup, beaucoup plus rares. Cela est dû à de nouveaux pilotes en cours d'élaboration, davantage intégrés dans le noyau Ubuntu, ou simplement à des mises à jour des pilotes ou des logiciels existants (par exemple le serveur X ne nécessitant plus un fichier xorg.conf). Cela étant dit, d'autres aspects sont restés très sensiblement les mêmes. Mes articles sur Vim, par exemple, fonctionnent tout aussi bien aujourd'hui que quand je les ai écrits (numéros 54 et 55). Remontant encore plus loin, les articles sur les fonctions de Bash, les alias, et « history » fonctionnent de la même façon (numéros 21, 24, 25, 27, 35, 36, et quelques autres !).
+Durant mon temps avec Linux, j'ai vu beaucoup de choses s'améliorer sur le noyau et les logiciels, et le support matériel a progressé à pas de géant. J'ai récemment installé Ubuntu 15.04 sur un vieux portable HP dv6000 avec une puce WiFi Broadcom qui ne semblait jamais fonctionner correctement avec Ubuntu pré-12.04. Entre 12.04 et 14.04, il y avait des conflits entre les pilotes wl et b43. Cette fois-ci, tout ce dont j'ai eu besoin était une connexion Ethernet pendant environ 15 minutes. Après cela, tout fonctionnait très bien. Ce fut une amélioration massive par rapport à la 4.10, où mon ancien dongle USB WiFi n'était même pas reconnu. Sans parler de l'existence d'Ubuntu Touch, les nouveaux téléphones Ubuntu, et Android. Si Linux peut changer et s'améliorer autant en une dizaine d'années grâce à notre communauté, alors j'ai hâte de voir ce que les 10 suivantes apporteront !

+**How has FCM changed?
 Full Circle Magazine itself has changed a fair bit since then too - the design of the PDF, the usage of Google Drive for articles, as well as existing in certain online stores as digital downloads! One of the most recent changes is also one I was heavily involved in - the redesign and adjustment of the website.
