Episode 10 was released. Rik sent me a PM about it. Luckily I am a subscriber and was quite impressed with this edition. They talked about firefox, kopete, and a music making application for drummers, as well as a great article on Open Office 2.0.
If you are slightly interested in Linux you should be all over TUX Magazine!

No longer a free publication. Bummer. Still a good resource tho.
Still free for the rest of the year for me
(what are they charging for it, because, depending on the price it could be worth it.)
Below is the email that TUX sent out dealing with the subscription issue. It was dated 7/25/2006.

Dear TUX Subscriber,
This week you'll notice a change in TUX. It will move from being a
free digital magazine to a paid one. Your current complimentary
subscription will be extended for 12 issues (expiring after the
July 2007 issue). That being said, this is just a note to let you
know what's happening -- there's nothing at all you need to do
today. Your free subscription will continue to be delivered to you
as you had originally requested.
When your subscription does expire, we will send you a notice
offerring you an opportunity to renew at our paid rate of just
$9.95/12 issues. In addition, since you've been a long-time (and
apprecited!) loyal subscriber, we'll make certain to offer you a
very special gift if you do decide to renew at that time. Again
though, there's nothing for you to do today. Your free subscription
to TUX will continue through July 2007.
We started TUX in 2004 because we felt strongly it was a needed
publication within the Linux community (many of our Linux Journal
readers would write in asking for exactly this, and truthfully, many
of our own staff members wanted to learn more about their Linux
desktops also). We invested revenues from our other publication,
Linux Journal, to make it possible. We've seen it as a labor of
love. Today, however, 15 issues later, we need to turn TUX into a
self-supporting publication and that's why we are asking for our
readers' help.
We promise to put more heart and effort into TUX with this
conversion. In the coming months, you can expect several new topics
and article series introduced by TUX Editor Kevin Shockey.
Please let us know how we can make TUX better for you. We strongly
encourage your feedback and suggestions; please send to
[email protected].
>From all of us at TUX Magazine, we sincerely thank you.
