Sadly, the magazine industry is collapsing in on itself like a black hole. I used to enjoy Unix Review and Sys Admin - since I do not use strictly Linux, but also other UNIX systems. Those are dead now, and it seems that there are only ~4 or 5 Linux magazines left in print?
Linux Journal Linux Magazine Linux Format Linux User Full Circle ? As another responder said, I only buy these magazines if there is something on the cover of direct interest... given the price. I will say that of the first four options, I have found Linux Format the best value... but perhaps if I picked up every copy of each of those mags I would feel differently. I only regularly invest my magazine dollars in Make and 2600. Fortunately for my wallet, that means only eight purchases a year, total. Of course Make is about the same price as Linux Format :^P Sometimes Linux makes an appearance in these two mags, but it is hardly a focus for them. Linux also occasionally shows up in Circuit Cellar. Good luck!

Hi all, I know this is not really typical faire for the list but, recently I purchased two Linux mags (World and User) to compare hoping to find out which is better in order to subscribe. While not really much of a periodical reader, I wanted to get some easy tutorials on the Raspberry Pi which both provided, as well as, more in-depth stuff about the Linux ecosystem. They were almost the same in terms of content scope and presentation format as well. There was even a third mag that would have made a near perfect triplet. For anyone out there in VAGUE-land: What do you read/suggest? Thanks! Brian PS: Once I settle on a rag I'll probably get the electronic subscription for my Nook ... assuming they have one.
