Linux Magazines

Hi,
today i bought my very first magazine for linux. Linux Journal Issue Aug/2010.
I have to say, its nice. Although it is more sophisticated then am i.
But it does have some nice workshops to get rampage if you a hacker.

Anyway, i wonder if (at all) you use a Linux Magazine and which one do you read?

There is the web, but i think magazines are a great place to read around topics which i most miss (don't follow much blogs).

I still like to read the occasional Linux magazine. When I was just starting to dabble with Red Hat (while living in London around 2000), my favourite was Linux Format.

I've seen that too. It a little out of my range (import) $16.

Linux Format. You can subscribe at a cheaper rate than buying it at a big bookstore. It's head and shoulders above Linux Pro or the American Linux Journal. Especially for people who aren't necessarily programmers.

Linux Format here too.
One advantage of these Magazines is, they send out DVD's too. So some users find that useful if they have crappy internet or limited bandwidth.

I've subscribed to Linux Format out of the UK for about the past 5
years. Good tutorials, and good coverage of different distributions. A
bit pricey for international shipping, but IMHO worth it.

Linux Magazine in UK or Germany is called Linux Pro Magazine in North America. (Startpage - Linux Magazine Online) It has Klaus Knoppix as contributor. It is slightly easier for new folk than Linux Format (UK) and I enjoy it . However I also get occasional Linux Format.
