Do you get Sysadmin Magazine? They seem to have picked up the
aforementioned slack. It's a real journal.

I agree with Paul wholeheartedly. The lack of interest definately kicks in when I find out that the article is nothing more than general information you would get from a synopsis. I remember when the magazines used to be a veritable HOW-TO of information. I stopped my subscriptions to LJ quite a while ago when they started their focus on things like clusters and other highend stuff, including reviews of high end systems that only businesses can afford. They definately turned from the user base to the Enterprise base. If I read any mag these days it is Linux Magazine( UK mag ) or Linux Format but even they have slowly started a turn toward some highend system/topics.
