Linux Format was the UK's first Linux-specific magazine, and is currently the best-selling Linux title in the UK. It is also exported to many countries worldwide. It is published by Future Publishing (which produces PC Plus, .net and many other computer magazines). Linux Format is commonly abbreviated to LXF, and issues are referred to with LXF as a prefix followed by the issue number (for example LXF102 refers to the 102nd issue).
Articles within Linux Format are well established, regularly featuring at-length series' and involved, practical tutorials to teach and allow users to expand their skills in using the Linux operating system and its associated software application. Contributions are encouraged to be submitted by readers.
Linux Format shares the UK market place with Linux User and Developer and an English Language version of Linux Magazine.
