Can anyone suggest a good Linux magazine? I'm looking to subscribe to one but I thought I'd get some recommendations first.
Initially I was impressed by Linux Magazine (http://www.linux-magazine.co.uk/) but its a British magazine and costs waay too much to subscribe in north america. [ Outside Europe - Airmail US $ 109.90 ].
I'm sure there are comparable north american magazines which cost less.
I'm not interesed in "enterprise nonsense", I'm looking for a geeky magazine aimed at users not corporate suits.
Thanks

Still a bit on the expensive side, but very good: Linux Format (http://www.linuxformat.co.uk)

The Linux Journal is the best in my estimation, slanted toward network types a little but good articles on processes and programs.

I've found Linux Journal to be one of the bests IMO. They do a good job covering most topics and are full of great tips.

ERRMM, To me just reading the whole of JL is enough -- ppl will post new discoveries online... JL users are just plain NICE!!:D
The footnotes on the front page is also nice to read.

SysAdmin also rocks. Not entirely just Linux related, but they do have some good stuff in there that applies to Linux and general UNIX as well. http://www.samag.com/

I also like SysAdmin, however that may fall into "enterprise nonsense" depending on your point of view I guess. If your into setting up network services I would go with this over the others.
