Default Favorite Linux Magazine?

Curious to know if any of you read magazines for Linux. I know about Linux Journal and have read it a couple of times but I am curious to know what else is out there?

Can't say I read them very often but I have read Linux Journal and liked it. I've read Linux magazine as well on occasion and that was ok - maybe a bit more consumer oriented than Linux Journal.

As you know, a linux user must be aware of what’s new in market, magazine are one of the best resource,
I know one good online resource is at " linux-mag.com/ but to access this magazine you have to register first.
This is one of the best daily updated magazine.

There are really some good linux magazine's available but I think before the magazine releases we get all the news online. So, there is no need of the magazines anymore.

True Jan - but unlike a magazine the laptop burns my legs when I'm sat on the bog

LOL
I also prefer sometimes reading a printed magazine than constantly sitting and reading in front of the screen. Also the benefit of the magazine is that you don’t have to waist your time in downloading softwares, get them on DVD instead, which has lots of tutorials and other related valuable softwares too. Although one cannot deny the benefits of the online magazine for Linux, as it is economical, fresh, no piling up, and many more things.

The magazines are not going to be your best source of linux news, updates, knowledge. DVD's and CD's are good but most of the time they are already out of date by the time you buy them. So, I've stopped buying this useless stuff and prefer to get the news online.
