I saw today that Micro Mart and Computer Active both feature Linux on
the front cover, seemed aimed at beginners or those who haven't tried it

I've used Brasero for CD burning until Jaunty - I can't update Brasero
in Jaunty without removing the default CD burner in Nautilus, but I'm a

Is it something a newbie like me could do without wrecking my system
completely?

I see the official release date is April 23, St George's Day. I'm sure
it's a coincidence, or is this the year we should prepare to don our

I've Stumbled it. It also says a lot about PC training courses - I know
they can't tailor a course for every student, but they don't seem to

widowed cousin asked about a course that was running locally, and was
