[clue-tech] Good Linux magazine recommendation?

[Nate Duehr]

Linux Journal back in the day would have been good for this, but  
lately they're off into la-la land with articles about hideously  
complex software mixed with "religious" editorials about open-source,  
and have completely lost focus on the beginner.

Sad, but oh well... I got in on their deal when they put out their  
100th issue where they offered another 100 issues for $100.  It was  
too good to pass up, but most of the time, the thing gets a glance and  
gets chucked straight in the trashcan these days after looking at the  
one or two articles on useful scripting or other things... the annual  
Security issue and the Sysadmin Issues usually have a few more "meaty"  
articles.

Sorry, I don't know really where to point him -- I just wanted to rant  
about the quality (or lack thereof) of LJ lately.  Apologies...
