It is indeed an excellent online magazine.  Very newcomer orientated
but it does have stuff for those of us who are in the second stage of
Linuxness :-)  I'm not so sure it would hold the attention of seasoned
Linux users though.  But, it is very good for what it claims to be. 
It isn't an advanced Linux user publication and shouldn't be compared
as such.  I feel that it certainly fills a void in the market.  Here
in the UK we have Linux Format which is a mixture of articles of
differing abilities from absolute newcomer to advanced sys admin
stuff.  Though, the newcomer articles are thin on the ground.  Which
is where Tux comes in :-))
