Getting the Job Done:
http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000193 -- Linux, especially its
desktop offerings, seem to be a great match for small business owners,
for whom efficiency and cost are major concerns. But this target
market doesn't seem to be making the switch. In his preview of the
upcoming May issue, TUX Editor in Chief Kevin Shockey discusses the
reasons why they should take another look at Linux.

Style Is Everything, Right?:
http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000192 -- If you are manual
formatting the documents you create in OOo--you know, changing heading
and fonts and so on every paragraph or so--it's time you realized your
word processor isn't a typewriter. Let Bruce Byfield explain what
styles are and how they can make document creation a whole lot easier.

From Our Sister Publication

Linux Journal -- Play Ball: Introducing Fungoes:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8986
Life-long baseball fan and computer hacker Mat Kovach finally decided
to combine his two loves and create a Web site for baseball statistics
and analysis. "The Fungoes project offers many interesting challenges
for me. Many statistics will need to be sorted and calculated. The
range for sorting, the number of columns and the filtering
possibilities will test my humble programming and database skills. In
addition, because players can switch teams during the year, finding a
way in which to display their data in an informative and easy-to-view
manner increases the challenge."

May Issue Coming Soon

The May 2006 issue of TUX arrives next week. It's our first Small
Office/Home Office issue, featuring articles about applications and
software that will benefit SOHO users. Read about MyBooks, a
QuickBooks alternative; Scribus, a desktop-publishing program; FSpot,
