Daemon News in Dead Tree

Posted by AilleCat on Tuesday March 13, 2001 @01:40PM from the mailman-ate-my-subscription dept.

Gregory Sutter wanted to let us know that "Daemon News now has a get-it-in-your-snail-mail print publication that you'll actually receive. The Daemon News Magazine is about to ship issue #3 to subscribers, and due to all the hungry-mailman problems that we experienced with the last mailing, we're including issue #2 with all #3 subscriptions received within the next 24 hours. (After tomorrow, subscriptions will start with issue #3.) We've tamed the angry mailmen, so you'll actually get your mags on time. The DN Magazine has original BSD and Open Source content not found in the DN ezine."

One big advantage of a paper mag over an eZine is that you can "forget" the mag at strategical places at work. :-)

Thanks!

Unless you've got a terminal in your lavatory, you can't read the ezine in the can. The print magazine works nicely there, and in any number of other places without live internet access.

In addition, a paper version is yet another forum for getting BSD information to those who may not have it. Not everyone reads websites or surfs around, or has the leisure of doing that whenever they want. You don't have to pay by the minute or by the byte to read a magazine.
