However, Linux Magazine these days are beginning to offer basic articles for the beginner, and I would suspect this has something to do with competing with Linux Format. That said, the recently re-launched issue shows much better layout and improvement in quality of articles. It still has some way to go, but I reckon it'll get there soon. ...more

Premium Review Linux Format: Great but maybe too basic at times.. (209 words)
by - written on 29/03/01 (Useful, 36 readings)
Rating:

Linux format is a great magazine. After waiting many years for a Linux magazine to surface the UK Linux community was rewarded last year with this offering. It always has a great cover CD although by now perhaps I have a few too many different distributions, but still, its nice to try out new things. My only complaint would be that some articles are perhaps a bit too basic and could be expanded on further. I know the editorial team say its a magazine for both the newbies and the more fluent users but perhaps a little more advanced topics wouldn't go astray. Going into a little detail never hurt anyone. :) However I'd defiently ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Disappointingly lacking in content (144 words)
by - written on 17/09/00 (Useful, 53 readings)
Rating:

I got into the whole Linux thing when I bought a copy of Linux Format's predecessor, the short-lived Linux Answers. Unfortunately LF doesn't seem to be a great deal better. Its desperately lacking in content, and for the same price as other Future Entertainment mags like PCFormat and PCPlus, it just doesn't seem particularly good value for money. The content (such as there is) is a bit of a mixed bag, some stuff is too much for Linux experts, the rest is oriented for people who wouldn't choose to use Linux in the first place. Its just a shame there's not enough demand for a Linux monthly mag to tempt more people to buy one, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Linux Format: Is being the only one enough (129 words)
by - written on 16/08/00 (Useful, 38 readings)
Rating:

I am interested in Linux and I'm sorry to say that after having read Linux format I'm still not confident enough to install it on my computer. I get the impression that I should already know a lot about Linux and its operation to be able to fully understand the instructions given. On the tutorial pages you are told to do a certain task but not told how to do it. If you don't already know, where do you go? The only instruction I found of any help was on how to install Linux along side Windows. I beleive I could do this with ease but adding other software and surfing the internet are a different kettle of fish. Maybe I need a new fishing rod. ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Started off bad, but slowly getting better.. (159 words)
by - written on 01/05/01 (Useful, 45 readings)
Rating:

When I originally bought Linux Format, I thought the layout was terrible (waaay too basic and the whole magazine was too thin). Another minus point was the lack of any really useful information other than guides for the beginner. Around the same time, Linux Magazine was coming on the market and it was vastly superior - it had far better articles (that catered for the intermediate and advanced) and offered a much better layout and value for money. Needless the say, I opted to subscribe to Linux Magazine (and Linux Journal) rather than Linux Format. However, Linux Magazine these days are beginning to offer basic articles for the beginner, and I would ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Linux Format: Buy it for the CD (211 words)
by - written on 21/03/01 (Useful, 34 readings)
Rating:

There are few Linux mags on the ground, which probably makes Linux Format a market leader by default. Like most computer magazines this is a glossy, alluring beastie with a CD to tempt the buyer. In fact the magazine is fairly slim, both physically and in terms of the content. What there is varies between stuff for the total beginner and much more specialised articles for the seasoned campaigner. A lot of the beginner stuff should be usefully archived on the CD, that way the content can be more focussed to those who've gone beyond the basics. The lack of real meat makes this a pretty much hit and miss affair. It's the CDs which usually ...  Read the complete review
