Whether the Linux users in India like to read an international magazine dedicated to Linux? 2. Would they be interested in subscribing to such a magazine. 3. What would be the most the most attractive cover-price in Indian Rupees? (The internatonal edition of Linuxformat is available in select bookstores of Mumbai. A single issue costs an exorbitant 600+ Rupees). Your feedback is extremely valuable for us. Only you can help us bring an awesome monthly read purely about Linux and at affordable Indian prices.
