There are several European mags (Linux Format and Linux Magazine=Linux Pro Magazine in the US) and there are some US-specific mags as well, and they have DVDs with the mags. Problem, you need a dvd reader to use them. Linux Pro Magazine put out an Ubuntu Special Edition just this month, with DVD. Linux Format has a 6 flavor *buntu DVD this month. You might be intersted in the Xubuntu version. Go to your local mega-bookstore and check for Linux publications in the MAGAZINE section.
