So I think that question was legitimate ... I just received a copy of the Winter 2003 Daemonnews printzine on Saturday. That's the only US BSD-specific zine that I know. But there are several others that cover open source in general though they may have "Linux" in their name. If the article isn't about the kernel, glibc, or a specific distro, it's probably applicable to FreeBSD. I seem to recall BSD specific articles or reviews in both Linux Journal and Linux magazine in the past. David
