I agree with Paul wholeheartedly.  The lack of interest definately kicks in
when I find out that the article is nothing more than general information
you would get from a synopsis.  I remember when the magazines used to be a
veritable HOW-TO of information.   I stopped my subscriptions to LJ quite a
while ago when they started their focus on things like clusters and other
highend stuff, including reviews of high end systems that only businesses
can afford.  They definately turned from the user base to the Enterprise
base.  If I read any mag these days it is Linux Magazine( UK mag ) or Linux
Format but even they have slowly started a turn toward some highend
system/topics.
