Dear Linux enthusiasts,

This December, we bring you the latest release of Ubuntu Breezy Badger
(5.10)-in the easy to use live distro form. So try out Linux now
without burning a hole into your hard-disk. Also, there are articles
that help you do that extra bit with Linux-master DVDs, survive
hard-disk crashes, become that hip song-guy in the party circle and
more. Sample some cool articles at [http://www.linuxforu.com] the LFY
website.

What a year it has been for Linux-more and more people and
organisations have taken to open source without apprehensions!
Befittingly, as a premier platform for the open source community, we
have tried to bring some of these heroes to the limelight-through our
TuxHero feature! A TuxHero is a person or an organisation that has
shown the courage to take the initiative of migrating/adopting open
source solutions. Three of them shared their stories with us for the
December issue. We invite all of you to come forth with yours!

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

THE NEW AVATAR OF LINUX FOR YOU
-------------------------------
Post September, we have made an initiative to make LFY more
reader-friendly. Besides a cool new layout, there is a conscious
attempt to categorise articles so that readers can more easily find
the stuff that they feel interested in. Plus, LFY is now a single
magazine-so there are no separate LFY and LFY Pro. If you still
haven't taken a look at the new avatar of LFY, grab the December issue
straightaway!
