I was walking around glorieta this morning and I stumbled upon a magazine stand, Bufini - the one under the escalator going towards landmark, i saw a copy of Maximum Linux, Jan/Feb 2001. The main article is "Mobile MP3 - Build a Linux-powered MP3 player for your car!". Amazing it's as big as a car stereo with a 60GB hard disk; LCD display. The article might still be in their website: http://www.miximumlinux.com/ The magazine distributor is Emerald Headway Dist., Inc., 218 Katipunan Ave., Blue Ridge, Q. C. (also their warehouse).
