Those magzines are unfair, they preach the joys of windows  because everybody should be using hte latest and greatest while dub linux down only because they don't really know how to use it themselves.  The magazines are simply a way of telling people they need to upgrade to the latest everything.  Only a few really shine.

I beleive there is a magazine in the UK called "PCPlus", its nearly is perfect.  They review linux software regurlaly and the ppl seem to know what they are talking about, they will discuss the pitfalls of MS software and what the RIAA are doing at the time.  The first page is nearly always about invasion of piracy from the multi-nationals.  At the back they have a masterclass, some for windows, some for linux beginners and another section for linux masters and a bit for macs.  Writers for the magazine who write an entire page each month are always telling readers about the dangers in the worls or how MS is pushing shit to us.  I remember one guy ended his monthy column with "Which is yet another reason to get off the rickety windows bandwagon and switch to linux."  This was after talking about the pitfalls of prprietory software.

If you havn't seen this mag or live in the UK then here is the link to the site, they have alot of linux stuff there as well to enjoy.  Also included is another fine magazine which isn't baised.

I agree with the statement that a real linux magazine should be bought though.

PC World is heavily biased against open source and/or freeware.

Calum:
yeah, so what'sup with all this anti pc world thing? must be different in the states.

also, re: good magazines, LXF (Linux Format) seems to be one of the best in Europe, anyway, although it's linux and some BSD only, so maybe it's not the same type of thing...
