Glossary....................................................................................................................................195 1 Introduction 1.1 About MX Linux MX Linux is a cooperative venture between the antiX and former MEPIS communities, using the best tools and talents from each distro and including work and ideas originally created by Warren Woodford. It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint. Relying on the excellent upstream work by Linux and the open-source community, with MX-19 we deploy Xfce 4.1 4 as Desktop Environment on top of a Debian Stable (Debian 10, "Buster") base, drawing from the core antiX system. Ongoing backports and outside additions to our Repos serve to keep components current with developments as users require. KDE/plasma and Fluxbox environments are also available. The MX Dev Team is composed of a group of volunteers of various backgrounds, talents and interests. Details: About us. Special thanks for strong ongoing support of this project go to the MX Linux Packagers; to video producers Dolphin_Oracle, richb and m_pav; to our great volunteers; and to all our Translators! 1.2 About this Manual Figure 1-1: The *need* for manuals (xkcd.com) This Users Manual is the product of large group of volunteers from the MX Linux community. As such, it will inevitably contain errors and omissions, although we have worked hard to minimize them. Please send us feedback, corrections or suggestions using one of the methods listed below.

    Prepared exclusively for Alison Tyler Download at Boykma.Com What readers are saying about Ubuntu Kung Fu Ubuntu Kung Fu is excellent. The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users. Matthew Helmke Administrator, Ubuntu Forums Ubuntu Kung Fu is a fantastic compendium of useful, uncommon Ubuntu knowledge.

  • Schon Mal Dran Gedacht,Linux Auszuprobieren? Von G. Schmidt
    Schon mal dran gedacht, Linux auszuprobieren? Eine Einführung in das Betriebssystem Linux und seine Distributionen von Günther Schmidt-Falck Das Magazin AUSWEGE wird nun schon seit 2010 mit Hilfe des Computer-Betriebs- system Linux erstellt: Texte layouten, Grafiken und Fotos bearbeiten, Webseiten ge- stalten, Audio schneiden - alles mit freier, unabhängiger Software einer weltweiten Entwicklergemeinde. Aufgrund der guten eigenen Erfahrungen möchte der folgende Aufsatz ins Betriebssystem Linux einführen - mit einem Schwerpunkt auf der Distri- bution LinuxMint. Was ist Linux? „... ein hochstabiles, besonders schnelles und vor allem funktionsfähiges Betriebssystem, das dem Unix-System ähnelt, … . Eine Gemeinschaft Tausender programmierte es und verteilt es nun unter der GNU General Public Li- cense. Somit ist es frei zugänglich für jeden und kos- tenlos!
