Linux Professionals:

The May 2004 issue of Linux Magazine (http://www.linux-mag.com) will be
available on newsstands beginning April 13th.

May's feature stories introduce Subversion 1.0, take an in-depth look
at open role-playing games, and review the state of Linux on the
PowerPC processor architecture.

In addition, the May issue of Linux Magazine adds two new monthly
columns: Law student and MBA Nicholas Well's "On the Docket" focuses on
legal issues, such as vendor indemnity and flavors of open source
licenses, while MySQL guru Jeremy Zawodny pens "Advanced MySQL". The
new columns join Randal Schwartz's clever "Perls of Wisdom", Jerry
Peek's instructive "Power Tools", Rod Smith's system administration
"Guru Guidance", and more than eight other columns focused on putting
Linux to work.


A table of contents appears below.

Back issues of Linux Magazine are available for free (registration not
required) at http://www.linux-mag.com. The magazine is available on
newsstands in all major book and news retailers.

Features

The "Other" Linux by Dan Burcaw

Move over, Intel. Linux and PowerPC are in the fast lane. Linux on
Intel is driving the commoditization of computing. But it's not the
only game in town, nor is it the only combination of software and
hardware with influence. Linux also runs on PowerPC processors --
including IBM's POWER series, Apple's G5, and other embeddable cores --
and runs well. Here's a look at the "other" Linux, the one that runs on
PPC.

Subversion 101 by William Nagel

The new open source version control promises to obsolete CVS. While CVS
is the de facto standard for revision control in the world of Open
Source, that doesn't mean CVS is popular or perfect. To some
developers, CVS is simply a necessary evil. But now there's an
alternative to CVS. Read on for a look at the just-released Subversion
1.0.

Brave New Worlds by Howard Wen

Open-source game developers work hard to play harder. A number of open
source projects, including WorldForge and NeL, are redefining the
frontiers of massively-multiplayer gaming. Take a peek at the games,
the gearheads, and the gizmos that make play work.
