Richard Vernon, Editor in Chief of Linux Journal, commented, "The general high level of goodwill that emits from our authors, regular contributing editors and is evident throughout the community, consistently impresses me.... Our reliance on you -- our readers and contributors -- makes this 100th issues celebration as much yours as it is ours. Sincere thanks for all of your help and support."

In celebration of this milestone, the one-hundredth issue is full of special features, and the Linux Journal web site will also include daily extras and special offers. Magazine features include: 100 Best Moments in Linux History, quotes from well-known Linux advocates, a 16-page embedded Linux section, and North American readers will also receive a free limited edition 17-month Tux wall-calendar.

Web site specials will include contests, trivia, LJ staff-tested drink recipes, discounted subscription and renewal offers, and many more chances to win great prizes. For more information on Linux Journal visit the web site at http://www.linuxjournal.com/.
