Hi, |

that lzma is quite impressive!! |

Is not my purpose to hijack this topic, but I was wondering if anyone is |
| 5 |
kind enough to give me some comments about linux magazines. I been looking |
| 6 |
into that for some time, but not enough to subscribe one, as I wish to do. I |
| 7 |
know about Linux Journal and Linux Magazine. Both seem good to me. What do |
| 8 |
you subscribe and why is that your preference? |

Cheers, |
