[Wftl-lug] No more TUX Magazine

 From my POV, LJ sounded the deathknell of TUX when they;

1. Removed the most qualified person to be EiC, given that TUX was to  
be directed at the newbie.
2. Sent everyone an email that it was going to become a PAID  
subscription.

I think I have the last issue here but, quite frankly, I've never  
bothered reading it. The quality of the editorial content dived long  
ago... In fact, I've not even bothered resubscribing to LJ itself,  
more because I forgot than decided not to, but I've not been happy  
about the "lightweight" content for some time (Cooking with Linux  
excepted, of course !)

If I can drum up the enthusiasm, I may resubscribe...
