[opensuse] Tux Magazine - Bad News
I've been reading and learning from Tux Magazine since they started releasing it. At first it was a free download then they were to turn to a paid subscription. Finding it valuable - as it contained much information for us ordinary users - I paid. Too bad, they didn't get enough subscribers. First, I would like to thank you for supporting TUX Magazine. Those that elected to buy a subscription proved to us that TUX was needed. Unfortunately, the subscription revenue we have received was insufficient to even maintain TUX at its current level, much less improve it in all the ways we had planned. Offering you less, to me, is only doing half the job and you deserve more. For this reason we have elected to stop publishing TUX Magazine effective immediately. http://www.tuxmagazine.com/ Valiant effort, but unfortunately not enough paid support. -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
why can't you just keep it a controlled magazine.

Bad news indeed! This was the one connection between the expert world and the common newbie such as myself that helped tremendously to understand Linux. When you migrate from a Windows environment, it's truly difficult to understand real computer lingo let alone command line operation. Tux put that on a level I can understand. Are there any other resources available that communicate at the Tux level? I've searched on Google from time to time but found nothing close to Tux. -- Lee Ross -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I red Tux a few times and I agree that must be very helpful for newbies. When I started with Linux, I discover Linux Completed "http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Complete-Loren-E-Redding/dp/078214036X/sr=1-6/qid=1167734230/ref=sr_1_6/104-2482286-8026335?ie=UTF8&s=books". Although an edition of 2001 and Red Hat oriented (what was natural), I still use it today. -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, my SUSE knowledge jumped tremendously when I started reading TUX. Being a newbie, I am completely cluelessa about many things, and TUX - more than other magazines I read - seems to help out.

Heh - agreed.

Nothing cohesive. That is what was nice about TUX. You can certianly find tutorials and how-to's out there. Even Linux Magazine and Linux User have some articles for the newbies like us. -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
