“Linux Journal—I remember being one of the five companies advertising in the first issue of Linux Journal. While Linux companies have come and gone, Linux Journal continues to be there. I wish Phil, Carlie, Doc and the rest of the gang the best of luck, and look forward to the next 100 issues.”
—Larry Augustin, founder of VA Linux and CEO of VA Software
“Linux Journal's early success should be attributed to a strong, focused team that built the industry's premier Linux news source on the cornerstones of honest, hard work; solid journalism; a professional, fair approach to business; and effective partnering with those individuals and companies who—early on—labored to make Linux what it is today.”

“It is a rare honor to have the attention of such a fine audience. As many of you know, I am a man of few words, so I will make it short. Linux Journal is simply superbe. This tastefully done publication captures the full flavor of Linux. Spiced with in-depth columns and piquant writing, the pages of Linux Journal continue to bring out the subtle nuances and delicate sensory joys of this most excellent operating system. In short, Linux Journal is the perfect magazine with any wine.”
—François, head waiter at Restaurant Chez Marcel
“I still fondly remember the Python Supplement that LJ published. It was the largest concentrated amount of publicity for Python to date and will be remembered for its controversial cover photo of a naked piano player, in the tradition of the Monty Python troupe. Great class! I wish the LJ covers were as fanciful as that supplement's.”
—Guido van Rossum, director of PythonLabs at Zope Corporation, creator of Python

—Jon “maddog” Hall, founder of Linux International
“Phil Hughes is the only man capable of getting me to ride his motorcycle around town dressed in a penguin costume. But then again, who wouldn't honor such a request from the man who brought us not only Linux Journal, but a plethora of books, on-line publications and GNU utilities reference cards? For these I am forever in his debt. Congratulations on your 100th issue!”
—Scott McNeil, executive director, Free Standards Group

“I've been a subscriber to Linux Journal since issue #1. I remember when I first heard about the publication of LJ and was very excited to hear that Linux had become important enough to rate its own magazine. Of course, since then Linux has grown more than I could have imagined in my wildest dreams. Linux Journal has been around to document the ups and downs of the Linux community for the past 100 issues. Hopefully it will be around to do the same for another 100.”
