Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

German Linux Magazin from 2005.
I have this one from Mexico and Argentina, from 2006.
I used to subscribe to Linux format! I got the back issues on exactly/Exact Editions too, so for a while I could also view every issue on my android tablet. Those were the days.
I don't even know if Exactly is still around anymore.
Edit - nope, I was thinking of New Humanist magazine, oops. But I did used to get Linux Format through the door. I remember they used to have rackspace ads on the plastic weather cover
Remember that "NSA's XKeyscore program targeted readers of Linux Journal as part of targeting people interested in the Linux distribution Tails" as revealed in July 2014. :)
Interesting read. I guess I started my subscription in about June/July of 2000 soon after being given a Mandrake disk.
I see a review of Linux, Complete Reference Ver 3, which I still have on my bookshelf:
Gosh I had a few of these around that time. I wish I kept them...
Strong nostalgia.
I fucking miss 2000s linux magazines

I remember buying once since it came with a mandrake linux cd. Did buy a few more too, was a good read.
