Advantages: The only UK Linux mag available

Disadvantages: Lacking in content, too expensive, hard to find in newsagents

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, and start the snowball effect.

Conclusion: Buy PCPlus instead and swot up on the Linux material.
