Why do we have two versions of Linux For You now?
==================================================================
Linux For You was conceived with the aim of pushing Linux
from labs to offices. To achieve this goal, we realised
that we needed to reduce the pricing of the main magazine
so that those who were not technical but curious about
Linux/OSS could access the information. Hence,
LINUXForYou's main magazine was created as a magazine for
everyone to read.
At the same time, the demand from the tech community was
clear -- they needed technical content along with CDs that
bundled the latest software and distros. Hence, the
combined pack of LINUXForYou and LFYPRO and the two CDs is
now available at Rs 100!
For more details about LINUX For You magazine, log on to
www.linuxforu.com or email at niraj@efyindia.com.
This communication aims to inform the Linux community
about the information contained in Asia's only magazine on
Linux and open source, and we hope that it will be taken
positively.
