Sys Admin Magazine Ceases Publication

Posted by kdawson on from the paper-is-obsolete-anyway dept.

keithl writes "I received a postcard in the mail today informing me that Sys Admin magazine has ceased publication. 'We regret to inform you that the magazine has ceased publication effective with the August 2007 issue.' Only paid subscribers with remaining issues receive this mailing. If you do nothing, they will send you a copy of the Sys Admin archive CD (1992 – August 2007), or you can return the card for a full refund of all unsent issues. The deadline to return the postcard for a refund is October 1, 2007." The magazine's Web site has no word that I could find on the closing down of print publication.

    thanks for the insight brother. it's a damn shame that some common fucking linux dick smoking fags had to mod you down as underrated. it's because those flamers know they don't have a leg to stand on because it's true. the age of linux is over. i'd say put a fork in it's ass because it's dead but i know most of the fags out there would rather have a big dick in their cornhole. filthy motherfuckers.
     
    but how can you blame businesses for going with number one? linux is just shit and the truth is coming around. it's time to cut the cord on that faggot shit for once and for all. i know it will piss off pizza delivery boys who like to proclaim some great knowledge of computing but those of us actually putting in the hours in the server rooms are glad to see that crap go.
     
    slashdot is the last stronghold of linux. what else do they have? distrowatch? that shit looks like it was put together by a 7 year old faggot.
     
    btw: if you're a fag and you're offended? how about you just go get aids and die? ok? bye bye faggots. fucking dirty shitballs.

    Aww, poor baby. I guess it would've broken the bank to buy one issue and see if you liked it.

    Why would a sysadmin be interested in articles about "how to cripple the Windows software you're writing by requiring hardware dongles"?
    Because the majority of Windows Dongles saturate the WAN/LAN network with UDP/NetBios packets.


    (For that matter, why would a Windows programmer want to read it? It failed spectacularly some twenty years ago, and good riddance to it.)

    Sys Admin was a good magazine. It was targeted for Unix Admins. Your a Windows administrator, you really should get help from MSDN.

    Enjoy,
