OK, it’s time to rock: below you’ll find high-res PDFs of Linux Format issue 116. That’s the current, on-sale issue of the magazine. No DRM. No cost. No catches. You get everything.
But there is one small proviso: it will be online for only 24 hours. At 23:59:59 GMT March 4th we’ll be taking down this link.
So: please tell your friends, tell your LUGs, tell your mailing lists, tell your Twitter/Identica contacts, tell your relatives, classmates, roommates, cellmates and anyone else who you come across, because we won’t be repeating this offer!

If you were wondering, the high-res PDFs are at magazine-print quality – you can print the pages out and they will look flawless. The low-res PDFs have super-fuzzy pictures and (mysteriously) strange colours here and there, so only go for them if you really can’t spare the bandwidth for high-res. If you want to get hold of the DVD that comes with issue 116, click here to grab the ISO via BitTorrent. It’s a distro-tastic fest of OpenSUSE 11.1, Linux Mint 6, Slackware 12.2 and heaps of extra software!
