Fuentes was one of the most prolific Latin American writers known equally for his fiction and his essays on politics and culture.

His most famous works were The Death of Artemio Cruz and The Old Gringo.

He was associated with the Latin American Boom - a literary movement made up of mainly young authors whose politically critical works broke with established traditions.

He died in a hospital in Mexico City. Hospital sources did not comment on his cause of death.

Mr Fuentes wrote a wealth of novels, plays and essays and regularly commented on political events in Spanish newspaper El Pais.

Image editors are ten-a-penny nowadays, so anything which wants attention from a divided audience needs to offer something quite special. GIMP (or the GNU Image Manipulation Program) is one of the most powerful free image editors available, and is frequently described as being a free alternative to the likes of Photoshop.

Our second favorite day of the year, the one where we get to play Santa and reveal the loot under the record-store-shaped tree (insert your own gift-revealing analogy here). We’re thrilled to tell you that the list of titles being released ONLY AT RECORD STORES is only a click away, in TWO versions: A handy PDF that you can use as a shopping/wish list and a Pull Down menu with more detail and artwork.  These are the pieces that are available only in REAL LIVE RECORD STORES on April 21, the fifth annual Record Store Day.  A few things we wanted to tell you first, though:

*We expect to have all available art up on the site in a few days. It’s a work in progress. Keep checking back if the art you’re looking for isn’t there. 

*If you are accessing The List via our RSD GUIDE App on your phone, thanks! But know that the list is LARGE and has a lot of data. Just sayin’.

Kubuntu will have a new sponsor in Blue Systems from the 12.10 cycle starting in May. Kubuntu is a community led project to create a KDE flavour as part of Ubuntu. Our sponsor since it started has been Canonical who are now moving to focus on their Unity flavour. We would like to thank Canonical for this kind support and wish the best success for the Unity flavour (also called Ubuntu).

Linux and Android are two closely linked open-source projects, but they've been as notable for how distant they are from each other--until yesterday.

That's when Linus Torvalds, leader of the Linux kernel project, released a version of the operating system core that bridges between the two worlds. Version 3.3 of the Linux kernel is the beginning of the end of isolation between these two projects.
