Unix Review

This was one of my favourite free magazines that I subscribed to. It had lots of good Unix/Linux info in the beginning, but lost its way and was renamed Performance Computing.

With the name change came increased coverage of Windows NT that was not well recieved by the readership. Eventually Performace Computing went out of print, became an e-zine, and restored its name to the original Unix Review.

The e-zine's web presence is still growing from its meager start, but its archive of articles from the print magazines, supposedly back to February 1999, has many missing articles since their site went down for a couple of days in May 2002. As usual, the WayBack Machine fills in the gaps.

There is now a RSS feed so now you too can keep up with the latest articles.
