-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I, for one, would be a lot less interested in a magazine that catered exclusively to newbies. That's what books like the Complete FreeBSD book are for. (Not to mention many websites. FreeBSDDiary, Daemon News, etc..) I can see a column or article being focused on newcomers, but having a BSD magazine solely catering to that demographic would be demeaning to those of us who have been advocates for years. That being said, I would probably buy it anyway.
