freebsd-hackers@ readers (& bcc'd 2 local Munich lists, mecc@ & bim@), This isnt FreeBSD specific, but may interest many. http://www.ix.de/en/ has a trial run in English of the German IX magazine. Theyre assesing market for a monthly PDF paid subscription version in English of their paper printed German magazine. Disclaimer/ Suggestion for CT mag: I'm just an occasional customer/ browser of IX mag (lack of time), & English, resident in Germany. What some of you folks in rest of world might really give your eye teeth for, if you ever knew it, & if you were ever given the opportunity, would be an English translation of CT mag, from the same publishers as iX mag. (Heise Verlag), but CT is also only in German far as I know. CT is not yet another PC Soft/ DOS rag, but a decent electronic hardware & software mag, maybe as unique & good as or better than Byte mag was unique & good maybe around 1978/82, before Byte became just another PC software mag among many (well apologies if Byte has improved since, but when last I looked it was (imported to Germany) expensive & no real interest to me. CT is Good, certainly better than anything I've ever found in trips back to England, & would be nice if English speakers had access to it too (though after 19 years in Germany I personaly read either happily in the original :-) The chief editor of iX is quoted below writing to his authors in German about this trial run, (but that's just for reference if you happen to speak German, if not just download the free trial Mag in English, (they ask you to answer a feedback questionaire after you've read the mag.) - Julian Stacey.
