Re: RE: [ossig] Do we need a local Linux Magazine?

["Raja Iskandar Shah" <ris.riscniaga@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

fyi

i usually buy the pc magazines published from australia. it costs
between rm22 to rm27. the main reason for buying it are the free cd. and
sometimes the articles (reviews / best of the year). and the local
magazines hardly carries any foss content.

i got my copy of xandros and linspire from these magazines.

i prefer getting a cd (either from a book or a magazine) rather than
downloading it - mainly because it is easier to keep and file. and
downloading takes sooo.... long.

that's a little market info for you.
