If you’re new to this magazine, take a tour and let’s get acquainted. If you’re a long-time reader, now is your chance to find that issue or article you missed. The DVD attached to this issue comes with the latest edition of the Linux Magazine archive – 149 issues of technical Linux, spanning a history of more than 12 years. All the tips, all the apps, all the hacks … . If it matters to the open source community, chances are we’ve documented it somewhere. You’ll find in-depth articles on important tools such as Drupal, Apache, Nagios, Tripwire, and Samba. Or discover a lesser known tool that might be just what you need for a problem you’re facing right now. Build a deeper understanding of Linux by reading the complete history of Klaus Knopper’s troubleshooting advice, and chart the story of the Linux kernel through Zack’s Kernel News.
