Hi,
You should have no trouble subscribe to or even find LinuxJournal
overseas http://www.linuxjournal.com/ I use to buy it sometimes at
Border or large newsagents in the UK, I can find it in Norway easily and
with a bit of luck in France too. It's general information, some (a bit
more) in-deepth articles, some DIY projects. Good for a train ride w/out
wifi.
>From the UK LinuxMagazine http://www.linux-magazine.com/ used to be of
some interest, it's shipped and sometimes available abroad, but it's
usually very expensive. It's aimed at sysadmin, a bit of development,
corporate tech. Comes with a dvd of whatever distribution of the week.
There's also LFX (stands for "LinuxFormat" I believe) in the UK, more
geared towards desktop/end-users, newbies-friendly articles often, some
"programming for beginners" mini-projects. Fairly expensive, comes with
a cd/dvd too. http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/
[OT]But IMHO paper is heavy, costly, made of dead trees, consumes lots
of fuel to ship away and often carries outdated informations... They are
also available in pdf I guess.[/OT]
