We’ve slightly tweaked our downloads page. The page should be full-width (finally!) and there’s also an extremely beta option to download an archive of issues.

Enjoy!

That’s right, Full Circle issue 39 is out!  We’ve got a review of the iRobot iPad Android tablet, talk about virtualizing Fedora, virtual memory, new interviews, and more! (Oh, and we seem to have the recurring theme of ’13′ in our articles.)
