Another week, another Penguin Shell. I’m getting a lot of requests
for more basic information on commands, so this week the EGGS
section starts a series about the commands you have available to
you, and what third-party sites and books can help you here as
well.

As far as conforming to the Lockergnome newsletter standards of 80
characters or so per line, this is (again) not something I do,
it’s the editor who puts my content into the templates. However,
the editor has been notified and will be adjusting how my content
is entered since we don’t want people to have to fuss with
scrolling left and right to read the newsletter, now do we? (I
know, that’s very frustrating.)

Lockergnome Linux E-Books

Much of the content of these newsletters is actually going to be
updated, expanded, and repurposed into ebooks available here
through Lockergnome. My questions to you folks are:

• What (that I’ve covered so far) are you dying to get an
  e-book about?
• What didn’t I cover here that you’d like to see
  added for the e-book? I’m also always interested in knowing what
  you want to see covered here.

A Personal Business Announcement

I’m pleased to announce that a business venture I’m involved in
launched this last week. If you are at Gnomedex, you may hear
about it! I won’t bore folks with the details here. Instead, you
can check out AnswerSquad yourself.

Back to the Fun Stuff

If you haven’t heard yet, Red Hat Linux has taken on a whole new
direction that I personally think is really going to take the
distribution a level or two better than it is now. You can read my
writeup about this at Linux
Planet, and you can read Red Hat’s in the GnomePENGUINs
section. (Okay, so I’m giving the PENGUINS more than homework. I
thought that just homework was kind of mean.) ;)
