Yes I'll be checking. And in deed I think it's Linux Identity who
provides these magazines. But actually they are a lot of distros :
Ubuntu, OpenSuSe, Fedora etc ... And the magazines offered are not
always the sames ( depends if people buy or not, or if the distributor
receives or not ).

I'll check if I see any of these magazines with OOo.
