LINUX MAGAZINE

Linux Magazine DVD

complete collection of last year’s

Linux Magazines in high resolution

format. Although we have released these

articles for download in the archive sec-

tion of the website at http://www.

linux-magazine.com , they have always

been at a resolution which allows every-

one to download.

After many requests, we are now

releasing the articles in a high resolution

PDF format so you can clearly see the

screenshots and images for each article.

One of the advantages of having infor-

mation in a digital format is the ability to

search. For this reason we have included

the Java applet DocSearcher as a tool on

the disc. This utility can search through

the PDF files to find any topic covered.

February 2003

Following all the virus attacks

that were in the news, we concen-

trated on Security features. SE

Linux and Rule Set Based Access

Control helped to protect your data.

The reviews section hit the serious

readership with the Cache5 database and

the home readers with graphical games.

For the know-how section we gave you

the information about fstab and how sys-

tems initialize. SysAdmin examined

diskless clients, while programming

looked at automated tools to ensure

quality code. KTools handled the admin-

istration of users for KDE computers.

April 2003

While we sheltered from the rain show-

ers, we decided to tackle the big issues

and looked at Linux alternatives to

Microsoft Exchange. This featured a full

comparison and individual reviews of

the latest products, all aiming to replace

Exchange on a nearby server. We took

first looks at the new LindowsOS 3.0 dis-

tribution and showed you how to run

multiple distributions on one box.

Another tutorial showed us how to

make multiboot CDs to launch our

favorite Floppy images. The Linux User

section gave us fun reasons to use Linux

such as Coolicon, Chain Reaction and a

CD indexer for all of our MP3 discs,

Yammi. Now, a year later, we still get

feed back from those who have grown to

love it.

March 2003

Catering to your demands, we focused

on networking. Step-by-step guides

showed you how to configure Red Hat

and Suse. We also covered Samba

shares, domains and authentication. The

reviews section looked at the Bochs PC

emulator and Crossover Office.

The programming section started a

series on Coin 3D to produce 3D worlds

and took an interesting diversion into the

LinuxBIOS arena. Debian help was pro-

vided in the Dr. Linux section and we did

not forget a newsticker reader for KDE.

May 2003

For this issue, we had been fortunate

enough to get the new versions of KDE

and GNOME. This meant our feature

was a head to head comparison. We

tested and trialed them over their vari-

ous parts such as file managers and

applications. Just to cover all our read-

ers, we included articles on Window

Maker and Blackbox.

December 2002 /

January 2003

At the start of the year, we chose to cover

integrating Linux and Windows. This

involved VMware and Win4Lin as well

as Cygwin and serial connections. For

fun, we reviewed MS Windows XP and

the much publicized United Linux. In the

know-how section, we examined the

stream editor, sed along with the

Sylpheed mail client.

Charly’s column guided us through

how to stress a system before it is put

into production and Linklint let us test

website links automatically. Brave Gnu

World covered the monthly happenings

for the Gnu project with topics ranging

from Voice over IP to software patents.

T his month we have put together a

Linux Magazine DVD

LINUX MAGAZINE

The Linux labs tested the

Transmeta SDK, and we gave

you the inside knowledge on

DevFS. Revision control was

covered with OpenOffice revi-

sion and Subversion.

The popular articles cov-

ered Lego robots and how to

do a key signing party with

GnuPG. Ripping and encod-

ing a CD was covered with

Grip, while forensic analysis

of a hacked machine was

taken care of with Sleuthkit.

June 2003

June featured Office power.

This targeted on using office

suites and scripting to their

full potential. Apart from

OpenOffice, Thinkfree Office

and Text Maker were covered

with a look at desktop spe-

cific distributions.

The SysAdmin section had

the Zebra routing software

while the programming area saw an arti-

cle on making the debugging of

programs less painful. Our command

line section dealt with environmental

variables and an easy tutorial showed us

how to configure NTP so our system

clocks are always accurate.

November 2003

The cover story concentrated

on image processing, cover-

ing a range of viewers, and

tutorials for photo editing,

along with a Gimp workshop.

In time for Christmas, we

reviewed the latest Linux

PDA devices and Dasher, a

keyboardless input mechanism.

One of the most requested articles was

on the simple method of scripting with

DCOP for controlling KDE. This issue

saw the start of the popular Admin

Workshop which started with monitor-

ing tools. On a lighter note we found

time to look at a few KDE games and the

video editing software MainActor 5.

September 2003

As the academic year started, we looked

at using Linux for videos. An excellent

overview set out the level of support for

handling films. The most popular article

proved to be the KDE tips and tricks

report written by the actual KDE devel-

opers. The reviews section looked at the

Intrusion Detection System, Hogwash

and Suse Linux Desktop.

Firewalling with IPtables ensured

security was still a major focus. On the

technical side, we optimized programs

for SSE2-capable processors. You could

also spend your time making a rescue

disk with the in depth guide.

July 2003

As a cover story, the July issue centered

on Linux and PDA devices. This looked

at the new environments that were avail-

able and connectivity to your desktop.

The main article took a tour around

desktop organizers and PIMs.

In the reviews section, in conjunction

with our colleagues at Tom’s Hardware

Guide, we put the AMD Opteron through

the Linux labs test facilities. We also cov-

ered the Intel C compiler. The most

popular articles from feedback were

evenly split between the Snort IDS,

XEphem the star chart program, and the

Eclipse programming system.

December 2003

We ended the year with articles on using

Linux for Audio. In this we covered

Sweep for audio processing and the

sequencer MusE. A guide on NoteEdit

helped to set up virtual instruments.

Gimp was examined for the new major

version change to 2.0 with a look at the

features in the latest developers’ version.

On a more technical side, we looked at

creating a finger server and making Zope

and LDAP cooperate. One of the most

requested articles was on Networking

basics to explain the fundamentals and

show you how to actually set up a sys-

tem for yourself.

October 2003

Looking back at October gives the view

that it was the start of a tutorials season.

Tutorials sprang up everywhere ranging

from writing a Wiki project to share

information on your intranet, using PHP

scripting for web forms, creating a music

jukebox with Perl, and solving broad-

band problems.

August 2003

The summer months are usually a time

to relax and do all those jobs you have

been saving. With this in mind we

focused on security and protecting your

data. This covered important topics such

as hardening systems, firewalls, spam

control, and filesystem repair.

The popular articles were a little

lighter with OCR under Linux and query-

ing search engines from the command

line. For fun, we also started a program-

ming series on how to write a Linux

platform game. For the admins, we set

up a software RAID system.

2003 article archive made searchable

The DocSearcher Java applet searches the

whole collection of PDF files from 2003. Sim-

ply enter your search string and press

[Enter]. If you prefix the search string with a

minus sign (-), the tool will find only docu-

ments that do not contain the string. If you

only know part of the string, use the * wild-

card to leave out the remainder of the string.

The search results are returned as a list,

sorted by month. You can click on the files

( just like in a browser). This will launch

acroread to display the PDF file by default.

You can change the default by selecting

Tools / Settings / Document Settings ,then the

Document Handler for pdf , and using Edit to

change the setting.

DocSearcher can do more: It is a search

machine that allows you to search your own

files. It uses the Open Source Lucene and POI

Apache libraries, as well as PDF box. Doc-

Searcher searches HTML, MS Word, MS Excel,

RTF, PDF, Open Office (and Star Office), as

well as Text documents.

For more information on Lucene, visit the

homepage at http://jakarta.apache.org/

lucene/docs/ .
