Ceci est une ancienne révision du document !
Welcome to another issue of Full Circle!
A couple of changes this month. Firstly, Greg has had to take the month off, so no Python this month, but he'll be back next issue. I've created a new 'What Is' column where, after receiving a few emails about it, I've explained (as best I can) what UEFI is, what it does, and where it came from. Please, join in and tell us 'What Is [fill in the blank]'. Details are on page 40. Also, please welcome Pensador Louco who is drawing the Tuxidermy cartoon especially for FCM. The first strip is on page 51.
LibreOffice continues with a brief explanation of its Base (database) component. We also have a quick tutorial on using LaTex, and a lengthy piece on restoring your system – using either a backup or a reinstall. If you're thinking of buying a media player for your mancave, you might want to take a look at Charles's Linux Labs column this month where he explains the Pivos XIOS DS media player. At half the size of a DVD case, it's certainly small! Speaking of hardware, I've included a review of my Google Nexus 7 tablet, and Art has reviewed Peppermint Three (OS) which certainly looks interesting. Oh, and if you've ever had the problem of a PC that won't boot from USB (I certainly have), then you'll want to read Gord's Q&A Tips and Tricks piece on using the Plop boot manager.
All the best, and keep in touch! Ronnie ronnie@fullcirclemagazine.org
