Regardless, this is one of the major virtues of Open Source Software. If Eazel Inc. dies like the Maximum Linux magazine did, users of the software will most likely start an organization of former users who continue to develop Eazel. This is exactly what the Maximum Linux readers did -- formed Maximum Linux.org , to help support the community that would have else vanished.

as with every other magazine on the planet you can't cater to all tastes, and the linux community is substantially more diverse then most. say what you will about Maximum Linux, the fact is these folk have been in this field for quite a while & their presence will be missed. fingers crossed, they'll end up as regular contributors to MaxPC. i for one appreciate the attempt & wish them the best of luck.

the latest issue of Maximum Linux was stuck into my drugstore's puny magazine collection, when i spotted it i nearly had a heart attack, now i guess i'll have to go pick it up as a collector's item. c'mon, linux, in my DRUGSTORE ?....i never saw that coming.

If you need to read about linux read a real magazine

According to this article, Microsoft has joined the foray of Porn identifying software *grin*. Though it's in a slightly different context.

A few months ago, Maximum Linux magazine had an issue mostly about browsers. It included a CD with every browser you could imagine from Netscape Communicator to Microsoft Internet Explorer (which they claimed would run if you could get WINE to run it). As I recall, the CD also included (probably an earlier version) of the AIM Beta for Linux. I don't think I installed it, but I'm almost sure it was there! I think this has been around a while, but AOL didn't publicize it until now.

Ok, the guy's assertion, is that because the writer is getting a free copy of Mandrake, he's writing a glowing review of it, in hopes of getting another free copy.

This theory works if the software costs hundreds of dollars, like the software of certain competitors, but it doesn't hold up for mandrake, since the guy can already get that for free. Is the writer seriously saying that the books and extra garbage that comes in the boxed set is what is motivating a glowing review? What if they just sent him a CD-R. Heck, I got a copy of Mandrake with Maximum Linux this month. (Why would you subscribe if you don't already use it?) At any rate, the article's author is just full of shit, flat out. He wanted to write something that M$ advocates would suck on to like barnacles, and he did, but none of his points make any sense. No offense, but that article is total hack work (don't mean to crack on it's author, we all have to pick a position and fight it to write a good article sometimes I suppose, I remember college english.)
