I don't know if that would be a good idea.
I read Linux journal to keep up with interesting topics on Linux
development, and I like the degree of focus I get from that. If LJ
was to start including other operating systems, why bother? I can
get general coverage of the entire unix community from Unix Review
and I certainly am not altruistic enough to support a competitor just
because it's a competitor (well, okay, not for print media; I do buy
AMD cpu's to keep competition going in the chip fab industry.)
On the other hand, if SSC printed a FreeBSD journal, they'd get
my subscription dollars.
