Why do we have two versions of Linux For You now?
-------------------------------------------------
Linux For You was conceived with the aim of pushing Linux from labs to
offices. To achieve this goal, we realised that we needed to reduce
the pricing of the main magazine so that those who were not technical
but curious about Linux/OSS could access the information. Hence, LINUX
For You's main magazine was created as a magazine for everyone to read.
At the same time, the demand from the tech community was clear -- they
needed technical content along with CDs that bundled the latest
software and distros. Hence, the combined pack of LINUX For You and
LFY PRO and 2 CDs are now available at Rs 100!

This communication aims to inform the Linux community about the
information contained in Asia's only magazine on Linux and open
source, and we hope that it will be taken positively.
