I've seen it in the newsagents in Garden City a few times, and once in a
newsagent in the city, but really, if you have the time to read it, I'd
recommend subscribing to LJ to just about anyone. Imagine a computing
magazine where 2/3 of the contents are articles you want to read from
start to finish. Never thought I'd see the day, but yep, LJ delivers.
Like GNU/Linux software itself, most of the content is actually donated by
people using the system in real-life situations, often chronicling the
experiences thay have had using the software they are discussing on their
own systems. The thing is chock-full of real, working code examples.
There are the usual product reviews, but they are actually based on
factual, in-depth information from a knowledgeable reviewer, and I've yet 
to see an ad for the product on the opposing page. Surprisingly, even some
of the ads are fairly cool. As you may have noticed, I have nothing but
praise for LJ. To be successful in a genre where so much high-quality,
up-to-date information is available online for free, you have to be doing
something right.

Don't fool yourself. That's just painted onto the back of your window.
Real Life is only accessible through a TCP/IP-based medium.
