Summary: Not for the beginner but priced nicely
Comment: Most other Linux magazines out there charge at least $150-$200 per year. Linux Journal is very well priced, and they even have a PDF only version that you can subscribe to.
I still prefer the very up to date and FREE online websites and magazines though.

Summary: Best for Linux
Comment: This is the absolute best Linux mag out there, and can be read by new users and professionals both. Linux is a powerful and versatile OS and this magazine highlights its applications, inner workings, and any other information the average Linux user would want. Overall, a well written periodical with valuable information in every issue.

Summary: The Best
Comment: I have been a Linux Journal subscriber since 1996. I look forward to its arrival in my snail mail box every month. It contains articles for varing levels of understanding, and is very informative. Some just right for me, and some of it is over my head. It introduces programs that I didn't know existed, new products, and instructions on how to do things. Don't listen to those who say that this is a lousy publication. The Linux Journal is after all an engineering style journal. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Summary: Like reading Dr Dobbs Journal
Comment: Only its about Linux..For the same reasons I hate reading Dr. Dobbs the text format is
hard to read, lots of ads about vendors nobody really cares to hear about, and lots of yet another vendor leveraging something on the community.
I prefer Linux Format to this magazine.. Its chocked full of more stuff and sometimes comes with a CD full of slackware 8.1 and other utilities.. Its what I'm getting myself for Christmas..

Summary: Shares the strengths and weaknesses of Linux
Comment: Linux is a very versatile OS, but it requires more technical know-how than Windows to use it well. The same could be said of this magazine. It covers a wide variety of Linux related topics, from kernel programming to user applications. This breadth is a double-edged sword: I usually find about half the articles useful and half I have little interest in. The instructions almost always require some relatively sophisticated knowledge of Linux system administration, and sometimes assume one already has that knowledge.
