Interesting, this morning whilst at a visit to Sainsbury's supermarket saw a magazine called Linux Format, it came with a dvd with an interview with Richard Stallman and on the dvd cover Trisquel, the word is spreading !

Must've been a happy surprise! Hopefully it reaches somebody who values freedom.

yay! i subscribed to that magazine. they donate to fsf as well. i think i heard about trisquel by them.
they also have a podcast and webpage called tuxradar they post their code as free software. they do use the term gnu/linux but there is a short note in the inside page.

any way normally sold in all good whs and newsagents plus available digitally as pdf (i recall) in other not so free gnu/linux operating systems.

sold in uk but also usa and other contries. they accept subcriptions from around the world but i only know this because feedback section was filled with comments as how expensive it is.

On the back of the magazine it says it comes out in the 23rd of May.

btw my local news agent did not have the magazine. but the saw me snooping around the magazine section and then leaving the shop. they asked me if I was looking for something i said a magazine called linux format. they said they would get it for me I said i might not want the magazine every time they said it was fine. came back the next day (saturday) and there it was waiting for me. and they said that they would order one every time. with no compomise from my end.

so triple success in my view:
a) got the mag i wanted
b) supported my local shop
c) gave the only magazine I know that have written gnu/linux on the front page a space on my local news agent.
