Hi Nicky,

I saw it today. It's a spin-off from the _Linux User_ people I think, I
suspect a lot of the content is hewn from previous issues of the
magazine.

One of the other Linux magazines also had a spin-off, a big carboard
thing for a tenner.

I flick through all of them in WHS and _Linux Format_ seems to be the
best from my point of view, but not good enough to make me shell out
£6.49, especially for a DVD I don't want. :-) The other two, _Linux
User & Developer_ and _Linux Magazine_ are a shade cheaper at just under
£6. Out of curiosity I picked a few car, camera, and caravan magazines
at random and they all came in at £3.95; seems we're being ripped off.
Are they available in non-DVD versions?
Years ago, like mid-90s, I used to subscribe to _Linux Journal_ from the
USA, and that was good, but I haven't read it in years. Later, I used
to see it on the shelf in Borders but that's gone now, as jr said. It
seems they put articles from older issues on the web to read.
