Dear Linux enthusiasts,

The October issue of LINUX For You, Asia's only magazine on Linux and
Open Source, is out in a completely new layout. LINUX For You is now a
single magazine--LFY and LFY Pro have been merged into one. There are
a lot of subtle improvements in the format of the magazine that you'll
find interesting--the articles have been classified differently, the
colour-scheme of the magazine is aesthetic and farm-fresh. And what's
more--we have lots of good articles that make the layout changes
worthwhile.

This communication aims to inform the Linux community about the
information contained in the magazine, and we hope that it will be
taken positively.

THE NEW AVATAR OF LINUX FOR YOU

An attempt has been made in the new LFY to categorise articles
according to the target audience. This ensures that readers--Newbies
and OpenGurus--can easily find all the articles that they feel
interested in. This has been facilitated further by the new 'improved'
Contents section that we've designed for you.

Some cool articles in the new issue that will grab your attention are:
