>>>Note that SSC has started a new magazine called WEBsmith.  The
premier issue of WEBsmith was included as a supplement in the
January issue of Linux Journal.  For more info check out our web site,
http://www.ssc.com/.

Linux Journal is carried by some newsstands (including all Computer
Literacy stores in Silicon Valley) and is delivered to newsstands
by two newsstand distributors.  If you know a place selling magazines
that you think should stock LJ, send e-mail to dist@ssc.com or have them
call SSC at 206-782-7733.  Getting LJ on newsstands is one of the best
ways we can show the non-Internet crowd that Linux is for real.
