Ceci est une ancienne révision du document !
Again, a full house – with Python, LibreOffice, Blender and Inkscape HowTo's. And they’re joined by an article on using the BOINC application. Its main use is in pooling together unused CPU power in PCs the world over to help analyse huge amounts of data. Probably the most well known of which is the SETI@home project.
You'll see from the cover this month that I've put focus on Charles' Linux Lab article. I'm a firm believer in reusing old hardware. Just because it's not the latest and greatest doesn't mean it should go unused or abandoned. Someone out there, especially the elderly, could use it to keep in touch over the Internet. Even you, yourself, could put it to use as a file/printer/web server. That old PC shouldn't go unloved!
If you miss the good old days of Gnome 2.x, then you might want to have a look at Lucas' Command & Conquer article on Cinnamon. Think of it as Gnome 3.x, but made to look and function like 2.x. It's one of the desktop environments that come with Linux Mint. I'm pretty sure you can install it on any distro to coincide with, or replace, your current desktop. Lucas' article will tell you for sure.
It's almost the end for 2013, but fear not. There'll still be a December issue to help you see in 2014. Especially if you're a Christmas grinch like me…
All the best, and keep in touch!
