It was probably Personal Computer World magazine, the UK equivalent of
Byte. I remember them being quite friendly with Lasermoon.
ISTR being able to buy the full Linux manpage set, laser-printed and
ringbound from Lasermoon. They also did their own highly proprietary
distro (Linux-FT) that was the first to have POSIX certification.
Sadly, their domain now points to a laser eye surgery splog.

probably still trying to start that first job ...)
