Linux Gazette issue #70. The Linux Gazette issue #70 for September is now available. Topics in this issue include the usual features and articles such as "How to use an Atari ST machine as a Linux terminal", by Matthias Arndt and "GNOME Programming in Linux using GTK+", by Subhasish Ghosh.

Linux Unicode programming. IBM developerWorks has an article on how to incorporate and utilize Unicode for worldwide language support within Linux. "Unicode allows programmers to provide software that ordinary people can use in their native language. The prerequisite of learning a foreign language is removed and the social and monetary benefits of computer technology are more easily realized. It is easy to imagine how little computer use would be seen in America if the user had to learn Urdu to use an Internet browser. The Web would never have happened."

Tip Of The Week - Scheduling Commands with "at" (Linuxlookup.com). Sometimes you want a program to run when no one is around, including you. This week's TOTW shows how to use "at" to do just that.
