I currently subscribe to Linux Journal. I find the content worth the cost, 2 years for US$45. I used to subscribe to Linux Magazine, but got pissed at their rapidly dwindling content, rapidly dwindling loss of quality in the content that remained, and poor customer service (i didn't receive an issue for 3 months in a row, and their excuse was, your postman lost it, sorry). I occasionally see UK based linux publications in Barnes & Noble that seem to be decent quality, but i can't really gate whether their subscription cost is fair (i coudl never accurately convert British pounds into US dollars on the fly). -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
