History
Linux Journal was the first magazine to be published about the Linux kernel and operating systems based on it. It was established in 1994.[2] The first issue was published in March 1994 by Phil Hughes and Bob Young, who co-founded Red Hat, and it featured an interview with Linux creator Linus Torvalds.[3]
The publication's last print edition was August 2011, issue 208.[6] Beginning with the September 2011 issue, issue 209, the magazine transitioned to publishing monthly in digital-only formats including various desktop, mobile, and e-pub platforms.[7]
In early July 2014 it was revealed that the NSA's XKeyscore program targeted readers of Linux Journal[8] as part of targeting people interested in the Linux distribution Tails.[9]
On December 1, 2017 Linux Journal announced that it would cease publication due to running out of funds, having fallen into debt and being unable to pay employees for months.
On August 7, 2019, the Journal announced that it would be shutting down and letting all staff go.[4]
On September 22, 2020, Linux Journal resumed activity under the new management of Slashdot Media.[5]
