what's so special about tux magazine ??

it is pretty unusual to offer a magazine in the 'net for free, and still ask for an a priori registration.
this smells fishy.
are them publishers then spamming my mailbox with advertisements praising arbitrary payware in return? are them address collectors harvesting my email address in exchange for a few cent?
above, the title page of that thingie looks much too polished to be true. i've yet to see a software running on linux that would be able to create such a layout. i could imagine that they use adobe indesign or quark express on windows or mac to produce it.
so what was the point of "tux" magazine, again?

...and what's so special about klik?

... _that_ is the question _I_ ask myself.
After all, there is .rpm, .deb, .tar.gz, Autopackage, ZeroInstall, Gobo Linux and some more in the One Big Linux World. How do they differ from klik?
I'm pretty new to Linux (coming from a Windows programming background), and I've been looking at Linux packaging formats since early summer because my boss told me to prepare to lead a new software project next spring that is supposed to also offer value to Linux customers.
I read the klik FAQ linked above, but didn't grok it all. The FAQ avoids the comparison with the other formats.
Adding Linux to your supported platforms if you are an ISV is a pretty non-profitable business, if you ask me!

I recognized that the rdf feed is not working anymore. What's the reason for this?

FWIW: The PDF from the latest issue says it was made with Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 for Macintosh (haven't checked the earlier ones).
Seems to be a pretty good magazine, though.

klik://firefox
by MandrakeUser on Wednesday 07/Dec/2005, @07:34

Hey, I am running a klik version of Firefox 1.5 in Mandriva 2006. It runs just dandy (except for a failure to register some "chrome" component, and java does not work). The flash plugin I had to reinstall, but it took 15 seconds, and I did it all as a regular user, and within Firefox. Excellent !

I just found pipitas' blogged about his new klik package:
* klik://thunderbird15-tabbed ....(a patched 1.5 release candidate version)
* klik://thunderbird16-tabbed ....(a patched 1.6 Alpha version)
Way cool!
Also thanks to Jess Hall for writing such a useful article, giving really useful insight.
