Welcome From The Chief Editor

This month, I start an article series aimed at creating and using a HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer). This alone is challenging enough for most users. So, not being someone who always chooses the easy way, I decided to challenge myself and see if I could make my HTPC for a cost less than one month's bill to Xfinity/Comcast. I reveal my results in this month's inaugural article in the series.

We are also starting a new monthly column, called Tip Top Tips. We will take one tip per month from the PCLinuxOS forum's Tips & Tricks section, and feature it in the magazine. I've written a few of these up already, and in every one, we've expanded upon the original post. So, if you have an idea for a Tip and/or Trick, post it in the Tips & Tricks section of the PCLinuxOS forum. Your tip just might be chosen for the magazine's monthly Tip Top Tips column. The column's inaugural tip comes from -- who else -- Texstar.

Other posts in the Tips & Tricks section of the forum quickly transform themselves into full blown articles, such as Meemaw's article this month on disposable email accounts. Her article was inspired by a post in the Tips & Tricks section of the PCLinuxOS forum, from forum member Phil.

For sure, you're going to want to check back with us next month. Preparations are already underway to celebrate the 100th "regular" issue of The PCLinuxOS Magazine, which occurs with the May 2015 issue. This should make our 100th issue a definite "can't miss" issue.

So, until next month, I bid you peace, happiness, serenity and prosperity.
