Linux Professionals:
The May 2004 issue of Linux Magazine (http://www.linux-mag.com) will be available on newsstands beginning April 13th.
May's feature stories introduce Subversion 1.0, take an in-depth look at open role-playing games, and review the state of Linux on the PowerPC processor architecture.
In addition, the May issue of Linux Magazine adds two new monthly columns: Law student and MBA Nicholas Well's "On the Docket" focuses on legal issues, such as vendor indemnity and flavors of open source licenses, while MySQL guru Jeremy Zawodny pens "Advanced MySQL". The new columns join Randal Schwartz's clever "Perls of Wisdom", Jerry Peek's instructive "Power Tools", Rod Smith's system administration "Guru Guidance", and more than eight other columns focused on putting Linux to work.
A table of contents appears below.
Back issues of Linux Magazine are available for free (registration not required) at http://www.linux-mag.com. The magazine is available on newsstands in all major book and news retailers.

Features
The "Other" Linux by Dan Burcaw
Move over, Intel. Linux and PowerPC are in the fast lane. Linux on Intel is driving the commoditization of computing. But it's not the only game in town, nor is it the only combination of software and hardware with influence. Linux also runs on PowerPC processors -- including IBM's POWER series, Apple's G5, and other embeddable cores -- and runs well. Here's a look at the "other" Linux, the one that runs on PPC.
Subversion 101 by William Nagel
The new open source version control promises to obsolete CVS. While CVS is the de facto standard for revision control in the world of Open Source, that doesn't mean CVS is popular or perfect. To some developers, CVS is simply a necessary evil. But now there's an alternative to CVS. Read on for a look at the just-released Subversion 1.0.
Brave New Worlds by Howard Wen
Open-source game developers work hard to play harder. A number of open source projects, including WorldForge and NeL, are redefining the frontiers of massively-multiplayer gaming. Take a peek at the games, the gearheads, and the gizmos that make play work.
