On my Ubuntu 8.04 machine, I followed the link in the e-mail, like the 
rest of you, opening the page in Firefox. On that page, I clicked the 
first download link (for the large version) and saw the torrent. It 
looked like it was going to take awhile, so I went on to other e-mail. 
When I was done, I found that there was a zip file on my desktop 
(Gnome). I extracted that to the desktop. It's a directory named 
linux_format_116. Inside that there's an index.html file and two 
directories, images and pdfs. The index.html file is a table of contents 
that links to the pdfs in the pdfs directory. There are 50 pdf files in 
the directory pdfs.

Now I need some time to read them!
