I've been wondering the same thing.....

I think their website is www.maximumlinuxmag.com but I'm not sure.  I saw the first issue in my store the other day but when I went back they had already sold out.

Maximum Linux??? IMHO That rag is the most worthless piece of (please pardon) F@$%*&!  S$%# ever put on sale with the words Linux on it, and at eight bucks a whack no less.  Stick with Linux Journal or Linux Magazine, don't soil your hands with  Maximum Linux.  I thought hey cool a new Linux mag right on, but after buying it and
reading the contents I'm sorry I did. There's more advertising in the pages than even Linux Journal, plus they're reviewing stuff that's six months out of date, the format of the whole is hard to read, if their parent publication Maximum PC is anything like Maximum Linux I'd be glad to have never read it.  Sorry for the rant,
but I'm just really disappointed with that magazine.

I've got an extra I can bring if you want it.
