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
