The first issue provided an Audio Edition of Linux Voice via a RSS feeds: Ogg Vorbis and MP3. Is there any intention to maintain this approach for other issues? I found it really useful to have an audio option. Thanks Guys.

Lots of software: Gimp, Inkscape, LibreOffice, Nano, Vim and the different desktop environments and distros that we all use (Xubuntu for me personally). We currently use InDesign for layout, but we’re hoping to move to Scribus in the long run, and have just given Scribus £1,000 from our profits: http://www.linuxvoice.com/first-profit-donating-scheme-thewinners/

I am quite happy to buy the latest hardcopy of “Linux Voice” in Malaysia for $46.50 MYR ( £7.18 GBP / $10.96 USD). I also think allowing readers to download “Linux Voice” for free, nine months after an issue has been on sale, under the terms of the Creative Commons BYSA license is extremely generous. MY QUESTION: Does “Linux Voice” obtain any financial benefit from companies like “Nitroflare” which are currently downloading your latest October 2015 magazine for a fee? If “Linux Voice” does gain financially, are the sums involved worth the hit to your reputation, that you take by being associated with the “grubby” marketing policies employed by companies in this field?

Hi, We’ve got nothing to do with Nitroflare. I hadn’t even heard of them until now. If someone is sharing non-CC copies of Linux Voice via that site, it’s illegal!

I am about to chose to subscribe to either Linux Format or LinuxVoice. I’ve tried out several magazines, both English and Dutch speaking, here in Belgium, but had kind of decided to go for Linux Format. We used to have Amiga Format at home, so nostalgia had made me somewhat biased. Two days ago I picked up LinuxVoice, and was surprised how packed it was with game reviews, a Blender tutorial, distro reviews, etc. Your website looks fresh, the editorial staff looks younger and more dynamic than from other magazines (or am I misaken? :-). So, my question is, how would you compare yourself to, for instance, Linux Format? What is your USP with regard to the contents? I hope my next favorite magazine will have more game reviews, more healthy comparative competition to e.g. Windows, more low-level tutorials and less enclosed CDs (we don’t need one of those every month, do we?). Thank you for your kind response, And congratulations for your splendid magazine!

Hi Antoon, We rarely include DVDs, indeed, as very few people use them thesedays so it’s not so good for the environment (shipping costs and trash). As for USPs: we give all of our content back to the community after nine months, and 50% of our profits back to FOSS charities. So our magazine works with the FOSS world, and not just writes about it. We have many decades of cumulative Free Software experience on the team, we’ve written Free Software programs and managed projects, and GNU, Linux and FOSS is in our blood Cheers, Mike

Hi Antoon, If you look at LinuxFormat issues about two years back (and earlier), you would recognise four editors, who are working at LinuxVoice now :-)) You can read more details in the english Wikipedia articles for LinuxVoice and LinuxFormat.. Regards, Mark

From my point of view, LV is factual and enjoys experimenting, where LF is opinionated and seems simply to hate Microsoft

Hello, I want to let you know (as I think communication is useful): that I like the style of your magazine, it has lots of things I enjoy (Core Tech is a main reason that I get this magazine every month, and I like your articles on things like programming languages and hardware (the x86 article for example). I also like some of your attitude, I really appreciate that you re-license your old issues, share money and knowledge, etc. Good work and thank you, guys.

First, I wonder if I can post a comment or questions without having a login? I am still stuck at the Linux Distros Depot, but life is throwing curveballs at me with big rocks. I am learning late in life to follow my instincts instead of listening to the general tech pop culture. Anyway I never programmed in any programming language other than in my college assignments in classes (BASIC, FORTRAN77 & SLAM), which was in the last century. I have been using OpenOffice 4.1.1 – I think it was Oracle initially and then Apache since Microsoft stopped supporting Office 97. I believe I need to switch to LibreOffice. I have multiple older computers that I can install one or two Linux Distros. I have purchased Linux Voice and a variety of other Linux magazine brands that provide the CD/DVDs [honestly I liked getting the CD/DVD]. I was really impressed that I could boot the old HP Pavilion desktop PC, which was supposed to have MS Vista, but that is another story. In some regards it kind of became a thin-client. I need to pick at least two Linux distros, so I can learn and practice without fear of destroying my good computers. Argh! Each Linux magazine I read appears convoluted in the distro comparisons. Who’s On First?

Just for anyone who – like me – enjoyed the DVDs that simplified installing linux, as Mike has explained, it just isn’t practical. I can attest to this as my local postie has decided that instead of keeping the packaged magazine as a parcel to be collected, no longer gives a sh*t about folding two copies around and squeezing it through my letterbox – hence even if it contained a pristine install DVD of ubuntu 16.04, it probably would have been shattered or at least broken/bent. Sad to say the days of trusting the postal office to deliver (at massively overpriced rates) no longer can ensure you would even recieve a working DVD anyway. My strongest advice would be to either use a DVD distributer such as LinuxWatch or whatever it is, or just download the iso itself. I purchased a great little USB device with linux on it at a reasonable price through distrowatch, and that wasn’t crushed, though i had to walk to my local PO to actually get it. Thank god it hadn’t been tried to squeeze through the letterbox. As always – YMMV. Good luck.

Are you going to be releasing anything beyond issue 23? Seems like it’s been months since you last released a new free issue for download. since September at least?

Since joining up with Linux Magazine, LV has clearly given up this idea of releasing Creative Commons issues. The last one appears to be issue 27. What a shame. It was such a good idea. Farewell, Linux Voice.

We haven’t given up on the idea; we just didn’t have time. We’re extremely busy writing content for Linux Magazine and making the free podcast, as well as trying to do our daily jobs. The more recent issues are online now.

Hi Sandeep, no need to put it in cron — you have all the issues already! Issue 32 was the last issue of Linux Voice as a standalone magazine, so there’s nothing else for us to upload here.

While I very much appreciate your making past issues available in pdf and ebook format, there are only five issues of the magazine in this format? The remainder seem to be in html, or with no download-ability at all. Am I missing something? If you are going to do it…do it. If not, you should remove it altogether.
