I used to subscribe to Linux Format and Linux Magazine ( the UK mag, not 
the US mag), Linux Magazine ( US), and also Linux Journal.  I started to 
really find Linux Journal to High-end server/High-end computing.  They 
were really starting to concentrate too heavily on the corporate 
machines and the clustering instead of what the rest of us can afford 
and/or are interested in. 

I really ended up liking the two UK publications as they tended to gear 
their magazine(s) towards the average to above average power user.  
Unfortunately, I had to end my subscriptions when my daughter arrived 
about 1 1/2 years ago, and with my son due in 1 month, I doubt I will be 
starting them up any time soon.  So, reading them in B&N will have to do. 

Regards,

Jeff
