Distribution
Our archives contain compressed tar and zip versions of current and previous
volumes of LinuxFocus.
Mirrors
The list of mirror sites of our magazine has grown
considerably since our inaugural issue. Please select the site
closest to you.
Mailing Lists
There are several mailing lists available for those interested
in LinuxFocus announcements/news and also for Linux
enthusiasts interested in collaborating with us.
Article Submission
Perhaps one of the most unique characteristics of our
magazine is that we publish our articles in several
languages. At the moment, we accept articles in English
and Spanish. Volunteers in France, Sweden and Turkey are
currently preparing French Swedish and Turkish versions of
LinuxFocus. Please contact Miguel A Sepulveda for more
information and instructions if you would like to contribute.
Patience!
You will notice that there are
things still incomplete in our web
site, such as a list of companies,
links, resources etc.. Everything
will eventually get written but for
the moment we are still
undermanned and short of free
time so please be patient. We
would be happy to receive your
tips, announcements, virtual beer, etc..

Welcome to LinuxFocus
LinuxFocus is an online magazine devoted to supplying the
emerging young and active Linux community with tips,
information and recent news. This is our fourth month
around. Our magazine is published bimonthly; it is only
available online and it's free. All articles are copyrighted by
their respective authors. Permission is granted to distribute
LinuxFocus as long as the proper credits are included.
Our Monographic Approach
The amount of information on Linux is growing rapidly.
However, there are only a few online magazines like
LinuxFocus, and their approach is to provide mostly an
archive of tips and fixes. We would like to do something
different. In order to promote the use of Linux and overall
user expertise, our magazine will concentrate on providing
series of in depth articles concentrating on specific topics.
For example, the first series deals with OpenGL. Thanks
to recent availability of software and hardware resources
for Linux it is possible to perform state-of-the-art 3D
programming on a Linux box. The performance of a Linux
system with the proper hardware rivals much more
expensive SGI stations. Beginning in January, and for a few
more issues, we are going to describe just what OpenGL is
and go on to cover available libraries, supported hardware,
installation techniques, and a series of tutorials on 3D
graphics programming using OpenGL. We do not,
however, intend to lose novice users, so every issue will
also include additional articles on a range of more
introductory topics and tips.
