I subscribe to both maximumpc and maximum linux and I am very happy with
both issues. Both are well written with ample comic relief and realistic
commentary. Maximum Linux also does a good job of mixing newbie articles
with more advanced articles. The CD's That come with maximumlinux are great
and are very relevant to tutorials given in the magazine's content. The
last issue was focused on burning CD's under linux and not only came with
great tutorials but a ton of great burning tools on the CD. I know it must
sound like I work for Maximum Linux, but I am just trying to spread the word
about a solid Linux mag (In my opinion). I am actually dumping my
subscription to the rather dry and advertisement ridden linux journal
leaving maximum linux to sate my linux desires. Hope this helps someone, and
remember it is just my opinion.
