      Linux Pro Issue 236

         What IS Inside
     The rigid structure of nested files and directories used on computer

Linux. Also inside:
•    Manage personnel and projects with ProjectLibre (page 30)
•    Build an e-commerce solution with OpenCart (page 36)
Turn to MakerSpace if you’ve always wondered how to water your plants
with a Rasp Pi, and check out LinuxVoice for a tour of two useful
Markdown editors.
