I think that it is a good idea. I have been reading the mag since it came out (about 3-4 months ago I think) and I have to drop 5$ a month at Barnes and Noble for it. Getting it for free would be very cool. It is a decent publication. Mainly product reviews and stories of companies choosing Linux over NT. -Pete Thus spake Darxus@chaosreigns.com on Thu, Nov 02, 2000 at 02:16:26PM -0500: > Do we want to do this ? > > ----- Forwarded message from Betsy Cameron <receptionist@osdn.com> ----- > > Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 14:05:25 -0500 > From: "Betsy Cameron" <receptionist@osdn.com> > To: <darxus@chaosreigns.com> > Subject: Free Linux & Open Source Magazine for Philadelphia LUG! > X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) > > Hello, > > Open Magazine, the premiere monthly Linux and Open Source magazine for > e-business, invites your Linux User Group to participate in a very special > program that will make the magazine available at no cost to your membership > and guests.
