PC Mag Ubuntu Guide

[Fonon]

I'm sure we all remember when Louderback said last month he might switch to Linux...and it seems that because of Vista's failures, PC Mag is looking at linux at a new light. As I'm looking through my PC Mag issue I got today after school, I see their new article which was all about Ubuntu Linux. They even said it could replace Windows in most cases. I'll post a link to the article when they post it on their website.

yes, and maximum pc seems to be looking at linux alot lately too.

The more appearances that Linux makes, the better. However, I think articles in PC Mag or overall...worthless. Most of the people who read these types of computer-oriented magazines already know most of the aspects of Windows vs Linux.

Nice, I like seeing and hearing about Linux outside the internet, makes it feel alot more mainstream. :)

So use Feisty, and not Gutsy...

I feel this is great. Most people read PC Mag for trying something new (LIke me), so I can get the latest on overall tech news, etc. Just seeing the amounts of people reading PC Mag, and seeing that article...the ubuntu forums will be flooded soon, I think.

I remember a number of years ago Maximum PC had a sister magazine called Maximum linux. I used to buy every so often it was a good magazine on some things. Too bad it never really flew back then when it was around. I think it was in Y2K that Maximum linux had died.

Some one needs to make a Linux Magazine...I would, but I'm still in Middle School...perhaps that could a Canonical project?

[Compucore]

DO you mean using specifically ubuntu linux Or linux in general fonon?

Depends on what the goal is, IMO. If it's to get people to Ubuntu, then a Ubuntu oriented magazine is the way. But if it's to get people to get the Linux is general, then a magazine evenly split up between different distro's would be optimal.

they already have them. this one (http://www.linux-magazine.com/), for example, or this one (http://www.linuxjournal.com/), or this one (http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/), or....you get the picture;). just go browse your local mega-bookstore's magazine rack in the computer section/

My local book store doesn't have that, but I'll be getting a year subscription to Lj once i get ten more bucks.
