They are simply the best kept secret in the linux journalism world. No
banner adds, it's all pretty much subscription driven, and
subscriptions, while expensive compared to print magazines, are well
worth the thought that goes into each weekly edition and the daily news
posts, not to mention the signal to noise ratio.

The people running it are pretty cool too. When I spotted their
write-up on slamd64 in subscription only content, for example, I
notified Fred about it. He wanted to post something in the discussion
and e-mailed the editors, who set him up with a temporary account
gratis. All around a real class act, even if the article in this
week's edition (a contract piece by an outside author) is a bit
trollish.

Being a CLI junkie, this post sent me to their site. Nicely laid out. I
may even subscribe if I could pry any time away from my frikkin job.
