system administration
, Linux distros, free software,
Linux development
and other topics.
In June 2008, Linux New Media USA, LLC purchased assets from InfoStrada related to their magazine.

Consequently, InfoStrada's
Linux Magazine
was no longer offering print subscriptions. The website for InfoStrada's
Linux Magazine
was acquired by
QuinStreet
's Internet.com network, so no name-change was applied to Linux New Media's North American magazine. The latest article on QuinStreet's site is dated 30 June 2011.
In October 2016,
Linux Voice
merged as a special section into Linux Magazine.
