    I just started using Ubuntu! I should read up, I'm also new to Linux in general.

    And yes people still read magazines! I get a bunch of science magazines as well as tech and gaming magazines that are fun to read. There is something about opening up a fresh-off-the-newsstand issue of a good magazine that gets my blood pumping (which is great when you find yourself constipated!)

    LOL! I do agree though, I prefer magazines to reading things online. I rather stare at a paper than an LCD. I only by magazines that I can get for less than $10 a year. Very rarely will I spend more.

    Not bad, but not as good as TUX magazine which unfortunately lasted only about a year. They need to format their pdf file such that it displays landscaped when in full screen mode. No need to scroll up and down a page. It was easy to read and was structured just like a magazine.

    I downloaded and printed all 3 issues last night. They were very good, a little bit sloppy (grammatically) in issue 1 (issue 0 was fine). Issue 2 is an improvement (grammatically). Otherwise, all of them are VERY interesting reads. For someone like me, new to Ubuntu, this magazine is a goldmine of information, news, and how-to.
