How 2.0 was meant to be a wordplay cross of "How-to" and "Web 2.0". The
thought behind the content was to demonstrate interesting tidbits one
might find in a How-to but, where possible, showcasing <start big
booming announcer voice> the powerful features of the package management
systems in Ubuntu Dapper <stop big booming announcer voice> to
accomplish your daily needs/practical needs in a simplified yet powerful
manner. Focus, as with the magazine in general, is simple enough for
the new windows convert (or thinking of converting) as well as enough
meet for existing Linux users.
e.g. How do I listen to itunes on Linux? Old way: you're hosed. New
Way: Avahi with Rhythmbox, Banshee, or Amarok.
How do I edit my genealogy? Old way: download, tar -xzf, ./compile, etc
etc. New Way: Gramps!
How do I run Windows programs? Old way: dual boot. New way: wine,
cedega, vmplayer, parallels, Xen, etc. etc. (wow, this could be 12
issues worth of stuff right there)
The thought was to focus on a common task/desire and, at least for the
near term, show case apps as part of the solution. This eventually
becomes harder after you've showcased apps so we could then transform
more into a real how-to column later on. Perhaps like pc magazines of
yesteryear...we might even create a program to solve a problem then
showcase it.
None of this is set into stone by the way. Comments are welcome,
especially on the wiki!
