Advantages: Easy to Understand, Cover CD's.

Disadvantages: Some articles are a bit brief, newbie orientated.

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 recommend it to people new to Linux because it explains things very well, except a few articles in the past which come to mind which I personally thought were a bit shady.

For the more Intermediate/Advanced user i'd suggest taking a look at Linux Magazine as well. It's tutorials/articles seem to be targetted at an audience more familiar with Linux and its more powerful features.

However, great magazine and lets hope Linux Format staff keep up the good work..
