[TriLUG] A question about LINUX FORMAT magazine

[JoJo Almario]

I am subscribed to Linux Format through the Resource center/ Library at 
my office.  They save the disks for me, and I am responsible for passing 
itaround to all the other IT guys. 

BTW  Its a great rag.  I think its good when alot of the content is not 
over my head...which could potentially be alot.  Did you need any info 
on securing a subscription or anything like that?  E-mail me off the 
list if you do.
