Ditto.  Looking at my back-issues, I was at the UofT bookstore in 1995
buying 4-distro releases from InfoMagic -- installing Slackware from
them because of Bob Dobbs.  The store had piles of recent issues of
Linux Journal for sale as well.  I was buying official Slackware
releases there up to 2005 after which the well ran dry.  Probably
because of distribution over the net.
