Andmake equally shiny hardware. Actually, thatdoesn’t sound good at all. In 2025, I hopeto be still battling with configs and CLIs.The future’s so brightNext-gen GNU/Linux, what does that even mean?The FOSS world is so unlike the proprietary world.In that closed universe, new releases are considered soimportant that secrecy becomes paramount. So the next-genrelease of Windows becomes so crucial. With FOSS and Linuxdevelopment everything is laid bare. Sensible folk stick with thestable release but the brave-hearted can jump into an unstable,development branch and compile where angels fear to tread.This issue we’re looking at those ‘next-gen’ developments,the key technologies that have been in development for the lastfew years and will become mainstream through 2015. If you’reeven brave enough we’ll show you how you can jump onboardwith your own build of Ubuntu or Arch and try them live. Neil“Grey Beard” Bothwick is your guide and you can jump straightin on page 34.But what about today? There’s more than enough going onin the ‘now-gen’ of Linux to keep most people busy until the endof time. As usual there’s a packed issue ofLinux Formatawaitingyou over the page. I’d recommend you take a long look at ourRoundup this month on Linux desktop environments startingon page 26, a new desktop is the simplest way of giving yourdistro a fresh feel or revitalising your work flow.Besides that we have tutorials looking at creating your ownweb-based email system, the clever oldDtracediagnosticsystem and a tale of intrusion and how you can track downnaughty hackers on your system.There’s a bit of a bumper helping for the programmers outthere. We look at how you can take advantage of the RaspberryPi’s GPU and 3D capabilities; how to run Python on embeddedsystems; how to use Java to create physics and getting startedwith the programming language, Erlang.On top of all that we’ve the usual reviews, news analysis,users groups, interviews and so much more!Sean ConwayMy hope for GNU/Linux over the next 11years is to make in-roads in North Americaon the desktop. All it takes is a high-profilesuccess story detailing the cost reductionsof moving away from proprietary softwareand more companies will look at theefficiency gains available. Personally, I’ll berunning something like Fedora 32.Les PounderIn 2025 wearable technology has becomeubiquitous and now with the release of theRaspberry Pi Model G+ children canreprogram each other in class thanks to aspinal GPIO attachment. Teachers candownload lessons into children’s mindsand collect homework wirelessly, while alsorunning an MD5 hash verifying the creator.Mayank SharmaIt’d be great if GNU/Linux could be lessabout advocacy and more pragmatism.By 2025 free and open source softwaredevelopers should figure out a way toequip a distro with a Dalek plunger. Userscan then use it to suck proprietarysoftware out of a computer and replace itwith GNU/Linux.Neil MohrEditorneil.mohr@futurenet.comSubscribe todaySee p32 for awesome dealswww.linuxformat.comFebruary 2015LXF1943ContentsReviewsToshiba Chromebook 2...17The next-gen of Chromebooks are on theirway and they’re a joy to use.
