Linux Magazine

[marsdend]

Hi I am looking for a Linux Magazine which is better for home users and developments, software etc in the Linux Community. I have had a quick look at the Linux format magazine website that seems ok

Can anyone suggest the best magazine for linux?

Thanks!

I think Linux Format is the best I've found for the non-programmer type... there's a good range of articles in every issue, some are for beginners, some for more experienced users and some for programmers.

I saw an Ubuntu User magazine a few months back in WH Smith, looks pretty interesting too:

Linux Format is a good magazine, feel like they repeat content quite a bit though.... The remixing your distro thing was done not long ago im sure...

User and Devloper looks good, havent actually grabbed a copy yet.

Linux Magazine... Dunno... Bought a few copys and never gelled with it... Just feels poorly written.

Ubuntu Magazine... I would love to praise it but srsly.... It certainly at worth £8....

I am a current subscriber to Linux Journal, but I will get Linux Format if I see it on a zine stand.

Linux Pro is also good but more technically oriented that Linux Format, cheaper too. You can find them at borders and barnes and noble.

Can't suggest the best, sorry, but take a look at:

Well i guess it depends where you live as to what's available.

LinuxFormat is without a shadow-of-a-doubt the best. It has a fantastic grip on what's interesting to read about - particularly knowing that by the time they print a lot of "news" is fish-and-chip paper.

It's a shame it's a bit pricey though. I guess the DVD with every issue bumps the price up.

Micromart is another fantastic UK magazine - though whilst it's not Linux specific (it's not any OS specific) they cover Linux almost every issue (with some really thought provoking stuff) and it's only £2. Score!
