This "Final Issue Ever" serves as a historical retrospective, interviewing original staff and looking back at 25 years of the Linux kernel's evolution.

Every ~100-page issue delivered a mix of hardware reviews, in-depth coding tutorials (from Python to C++), and explorations of new distros like Mint and Ubuntu .

Extensive collections of past issues (like No. 268 or No. 283) and their accompanying DVD ISOs are hosted on the Internet Archive.
