Knowing what you guys there are doing with Linux, don't waste your time 
and money with Linux paper magazines.  Get your employer to buy a group 
corporate account to Linux Weekly News instead.


For my money, it's the best technical up to date technical Linux 
resource on the planet and it's dirt cheap:

(No, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy subscriber)

 Absolutely. Some 4-5 years ago, when I had a pleasure of working with
 Tzafrir, he told me about LWN and I am a happy subscriber ever since.
 And it is dirt cheap for the quality of a content it provides.
 However, as I understand, the purpose of the whole issue is for those
 journals to lie around in the lobby/kitchen with people sometimes pick
 them up and learn a thing or two about linux.

Paper journals

Hi,
My employer considers purchasing a subscription to some linux journals. 
I mean, paper (aka hardcopy) ones. The intended public is developers, 
not sales/management, so it must be sufficiently technical. Can someone 
recommend something specific?

Hi,

I have to tell you the truth, it is a waste of money and trees.

Nothing in a hardcopy magazine can't be found in online magazine - even those 
that are subscription based.

Don't kill any more tree just so that it sits in the office to collect dust.

Just my 2cents.
