Talk:Linux-Magazin

The German version of this article states it's the second oldest Linux magazine in Germany, not in the World. Who is right? And which is supposed to be the oldest? --Erdal Ronahi 23:28, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Linux-Magazin now says: "The Linux Magazine is the second oldest magazine about Linux (and claims to be the oldest in Europe)." The MEDIALINX AG site says: "Europe's oldest media brand serving an emerging IT market." This is a claim from the publisher itself rather than an independent third party. But obviously, if the oldest came from outside Europe, then the second oldest—if based in Europe—would be the first in Europe. A review of Category:Linux magazines finds the American Linux Journal, "the first magazine to be published about the Linux kernel and operating systems based on it." The first issue was published in March 1994. So Linux-Magazin, whose first issue appeared in October 1994, could be the second, but we should have an independent source confirm that. Nothing else in Category:Linux magazines started before 1995, but we don't have a start date for the InfoStrada's magazine. Best to be less specific in our claims, until we find more definitive sourcing. Note that my quotes of the above German-language sources are based on Google Chrome translations. – Wbm1058 (talk) 14:31, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
