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.
