Linux Magazines Review

Imagine sitting down, after a long days work, in your favorite sofa/chair, the kids sleeping, just you and a fresh issue of Linux Journal or/and Sys Admin Magazine, a hot cup of tea or coffee and some snacks. After reading a while, your creative mind starts to go europhoric with all brand new ideas and inspiration you just got. You just have to sit down all night until dawn and hack your keyboard away. Isn't that a *nix Utopia of a fantastic night at home or what!?


Linux Magazine Review. My subjective (completely personal) review.
Sys Admin Review. My subjective (completely personal) review.

As of today, the flora of Linux magazines is peaking, there is virtually not a single serious computer magazine not mentioning Linux, and the range of "pure Linux magazines is long as shellcode eggdrop soon. Among my personal favorites in the Linux/Unix
sphere of magazines, is Linux Journal Magazine and Sys Admin Magazine, they both have my warmest
recommendations.

What so nice with these two Linux/Unix magazines is the short but
informative articles on system administrator tasks. You can pick up some
very hefty knowledge in practically no time. They are great on their coverage
of the latest trends and visions. Excellent writers and editors.

Some of the top Unix/Linux/Developers/Coder profiles contributes with information and articles. The magazines covers all different Unix and Linux flavors. AIX, Solaris, Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, HP-UX, IRIX, Slackware, SCO, Knoppix. Programming languages, perl, python, java etc. Linux Journal and Sys Admin complement each other, Linux Journal brings you review a lot of the latest open source software, Sys Admin, more conservative, and more in depth technical articles. The best of two *nix worlds.
