The July edition of the GNOME Installation Guide
has been announced.
"
The GNOME Installation Guide was written to help unfamiliar users install a
stable GNOME system that includes more than the default applications. It
teaches readers how to compile GNOME on their own instead of installing
precompiled packages. It also covers installation of extra GNOME programs,
both those hosted by the GNOME project and those which are not."
The new Guide is available
here.

Upcoming Events
Here's an announcement for the 2002 Linux Beer Hike, which will be held
August 24 to 31 in Doolin, Ireland. "
The Russell Community
Centre located
near the Cliffs of Moher, has been confirmed as the base
of operations for the event and where the weather is lacking,
the fast connectivity and interplay of technological ideas
(not to mention the "special recipe" brew being cooked up
to commemorate the occasion) should more than compensate."
