From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tux magazine is a Linux magazine aimed at Linux Desktop end users. Tux's mission is to help Linux take over the desktop market. Tux is not a print magazine: each issue is delivered digitally as a PDF.

[edit] The contents
Tux Magazine contains HOWTO-type articles which help new Linux users how to use their Linux system in their everyday life. The magazine also has reviews of Open Source distributions and software/hardware products aimed at end users. In this, Tux is different to many other Linux Magazines which normally focus on a much more experienced audience. Tux Magazine has been criticised for focussing on KDE, and being critical of GNOME. The bulk of the criticism can be found in editorial style columns such as Mango Parfait's. While Mango's column should be taken as provocative humour, it is undeniable that the magazine tends to cover KDE applications rather than GNOME ones.
[edit] The publisher
TUX is published by SSC Media Corporation, founded in 1983. Other products of SSC Media Corporation include ITGarage.com, TuxMagazine.com, LinuxJournal.com, and the international print magazine, Linux Journal (the first magazine about Linux).
