Linux Journal is no more

Linux Journal is no more

Linux Journal just announced its November issue would be its last. Just like the CUJ, SysAdmin and Dr. Dobbs before it, and after a very respectable run that lasted 23 years, Linux Journal just could not secure enough advertising to survive and finally met the same fate as the others. It's a big loss for the open source world, as Linux Journal was there when the audience of what we now call FLOSS started to reach beyond the tightly-knit hackers circles and was instrumental in raising the profile of this culture.

In a final and nice gesture, the publication now proposes its complete archive in a downloadable HTML archive for just under $12, or free for current subscribers. Don't miss this opportunity to capture a bit of history before it's gone for good.
