I don’t know how, but I missed the release of Full Circle Magazine issue #2 which was available a month ago. So I thought today I would write a combined post that covers issue #2 as well as #3 which was just released.
Full Circle Magazine is a user-created magazine designed for Ubuntu Linux users. It normally includes how-to’s, guides, and a look at what you can expect from Ubuntu (and some of its siblings like Kubuntu). So let’s see what the two newest issues bring to the table:
–Full Circle Issue #2 (JPEG / PDF)–
One of the cool things that I learned from this issues is that there is an Ubuntu Home Server in the works which aims to compete with Windows Home Server.
I’ve converted this issue into a JPEG image for those of you who don’t want to download the PDF. Here’s a quick overview of what issue #2 has in it:
- Flavour of the Month - Kubuntu
- How-To
- Ubuntu on the Intel Mac Mini
- Virtual Private Networking
- Learning Scribus Part 2
- Ubuntu for your Grandma!
- Review - System 76 Darter
- Top 5 - Widgets
- MyDesktop, MyPC and more!
–Full Circle Issue #3 (JPEG / PDF)–

I’ve converted this issue as well into a JPEG image for those of you who don’t want to download the PDF. Here’s a quick overview of what issue #3 has in it:
- Xubuntu install step-by-step - Alternative Disc
- How-To
- Get a Stunning Ubuntu Desktop
- Learning Scribus part 3
- Ubuntu in Photography
- Review of Ubuntu on a Macbook
- Preview of several new Compiz Fusion effects
- Letters, Q&A, MyDesktop, MyPC, Top5 and more!
Overall it looks like the magazine is doing really well, and the last few releases have met their deadlines perfectly. I can’t wait to see what issue #4 has in store for us on August 31st!

wow, that efects looks pretty amazing, a shame no to have them on windows
Well that is one of the catching phrases of using Ubuntu Linux (or any other Linux) with XGL on it.
Yeah, I think they are doing a great job of matching and surpassing the effects that are integrated into Windows. It will be interesting to see what Microsoft’s next version of Windows includes to match the eye candy that Linux and Mac’s are becoming known for.
