Publications

• If you're new to Unix, you might have noticed that Unix is a Four Letter Word. This site has lots of information to try to make the learning curve a little less steep.

• The Linux Journal is the Linux community's only printed periodical and thus fulfills a vital role.

• The Linux Gazette is an outstanding monthly e-zine devoted to Linux.

• If you want to keep up with what's happening in the Linux community, but don't have the time to tune into Slashdot and Freshmeat every day, you might be interested in the Linux Weekly News, an excellent publication containing all the major announcements and snippets from newsgroups and mailing lists.

• O'Reilly & Associates are publishers of some of the computer world's finest books. Virtually every title is the undisputed authority in its field. On top of that, they look great and they're reasonably priced. Running Linux by Matt Welsh & Lar Kaufman is a great book for those new to Linux.

• Although not strictly speaking a Linux publication, The Perl Journal caters for a similar community, as the Perl programming language is yet another result of the free software community's global efforts.
