Customer Reviews

Shares the strengths and weaknesses of Linux
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.

The Best
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.

Excellent source of information
As a relative newcomer to Linux, I appreciate the approachability of this magazine. A really hard core open source type might find it shallow, but it really works for me. The French schtick in the Cooking with Linux column gets a little thin, but the info is great.
