The distro was lousy, but it was an attempt to address the desktop, and it was a great introduction, warts and all, for a newbie, soon to be enthusiast!

Thank god i was wrong!. Yes, dear Jason. You were the wittiest, and funniest linux art writer ever. Thank God, that the mag will continue online. I am now going to go through and print all the articles that have been published since the end of the paper subscription. And all future ones, Since there may be a time when that will go too(I hope Not!) So, Jason coming back 1 day to the mag would be like a Beatles reunion(Or Led Zeppelin or U2? if they break up 1 day. Anyway, all the other regulars are in that category as well. <br /> <br /> So yes, you are all our friends, staunch linux supporters in spirit, but also sanely practical.<br /> The good thing,no, great thing about LM is, and continues to be the right mix of Linux advocacy , Linux legal protection, with falling over funny humour, and just enough Linux + other platforms practicality.<br /> <br /> So long live the champion of Linux support, and the best darn linux mag ever!<br /> <br /> take care,<br /> wasim soukieh Boy I thought that after the print mag went belly up, there would be no LM anymore.

So yes, you are all our friends, staunch linux supporters in spirit, but also sanely practical.
The good thing,no, great thing about LM is, and continues to be the right mix of Linux advocacy , Linux legal protection, with falling over funny humour, and just enough Linux + other platforms practicality.

So long live the champion of Linux support, and the best darn linux mag ever!

take care,
