New Linux Online Magazine - Tux
There's a relatively new magazine (PDF Format) online entilted 'Tux' that is billing itself as 'The First And Only Magazine for the New Linux User' that you can find at http://www.tuxmagazine.com Although it's main function is an attempt to aid in the transition from Windows to Linux, it also offers interesting articles/editorials for the average Linux user. But, mainly, folks coming over from Windows to Suse Linux may receive a lot of insight reading it. It is distribution neutral (although they do review distro's) but with a KDE leaning bent. So far in the 3 issues released it has averaged approx 48 - 50 pages per issue of colorful, image laden content. The folks who maintain and/or publish Linux Journal (http://www.linuxjournal.com), Linux Gazette (http://www.linuxgazette.com) and Doc's IT Garage (http://www.docsearls.com) (SSC Publishing - Phil Huges) are responsible for this offering. This months issue (issue 3) tackles K3b, Tux Paint for Kids, IPod and Linux and a few other bits of news/reviews including a look at MEPIS 3.3. Hope someone finds this useful!

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 :-)) -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR

Linux Format is awesome! It's easily my favorite Linux publication. Although there is an approximate 20 - 30 day delay on our receiving it here in the states, it's a special treat I try to give myself once a month. I've been in the 'Format' series of magazines for so long (PC, Linux, Amiga) that I've developed a cockney accent! ;) Regards, Ken

All that is fun, and I have a subscription to the Linux-Magazine also European, but nonetheless a good quality mag.. ( removing tongue from my cheek as of .... now! Anyway.. do any of you have any idea if that "pepper pad" is linux based or is it just another Windows lite item ??? ( looks really a nice idea except for the windows requirement to download the desktop ) TIA y'all bonus good Karma points available as usual <VBG> -- j We're all here because we ain't all there.

You'd love my 'Black Country' accent then....even though I live over the border in Staffordshire :-) -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR
