I wonder what the hell this guy was looking for? Or indeed why he ended up at you site?

Yeah, that puzzled me too! The "slapt" matches Slapt-get from issue 55's HotPicks -- an apt-get workalike for Slackware -- but not sure what that's got to do with glass or China!

How bizarre. [ner ner ner, etc., as the song went]

While I'm here, how about some stats from that Article List page. Since 19th Nov 2004, it's had:

4,473 hits from
2,667 unique IPs

Many of the hits come from unrelated Google searches. There's a scary amount of "cracks" searches that end up there -- but most folks are looking for Linux apps, info on writers and more stuff about the magazine. Here's the first few searches in the logfile as an example:

"linux+distro+for+capio+II"
"mandrake+and+certification+and+primergy"
"key+channelle"
"how+to+crack+planmaker+for+pocket+pc"
"linux+screem+nvu+openoffice+bluefish"
"opengroupware+versus+egroupware+war"
"crack+storix+Workstation+Edition"
"glass+slapt+in+china"

I notice you're missing a few of the earlier ones as well...
If you want anyof them, I have LXF from issue 1 onwards in work & can scan them next week (maybe 3 or 4 per day)...
let me know your preferred resolution (I think you don't need it as high as 150dpi) and format (png or jpeg) - and, of course, which ones you want.

On it's way... hope you don't have any problems with a 4Mb attachment (it won't compress any better than that)

Not sure I want the reward, but will a 150dpi PNG file do for you ?
If so, let me know how to get it to you.

Article List page updated!

Lo all,

Big updates for the Article List page:

# New design with links down the left
# Added issues 64, 65 and 66
# Also added issues 3 - 13 thanks to Dick Bain's help

Mondo edit three years on: the old site no longer exists. Please see http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/archives/ for previous LXF content. -- M-Saunders

Any comments or typos, please do let me know! We're getting towards a full run now. And if someone has a cover image for 64, I'll marry you and have your babies. (Scanner's gone kaput.)
