Linux Journal - Advert Delivery System?
While I'm thinking about magazines I'm going to complain about Linux
Journal. I've been a reader for over six years now and apart from the
horrible "Cooking with Linux" columns (where Marcel Gagme badly pretends
to be a French restaurateur) I've been happy with the content. Mick
Bauer's "Paranoid Penguin" and "At The Forge" by Reuven Lerner have long
been highlights.
Recently the magazines tone seems to have changed a lot. It's now almost impossible to find a two page spread that doesn't have an advert in it. The graphical layout makes it hard to tell where the articles begin and the magazines physical dimensions have altered, making it a bugger to stack.
I'm giving it another issue to find its feet and if it's no better I'll stop reading it. When I started looking for Linux information my reading options were pretty limited. Thankfully, these days, there are other sources of Linux information.
