This is a COMPLETE bibliography of the Linux Journal (CODEN LIJOFX, ISSN 1075-3583), which began publishing in March 1994.

This bibliography also includes complete entries for the Embedded Linux Journal (no CODEN, ISSN 1534-083X), which premiered in November 2000. It ceased publication in June 2002, and was absorbed into the Linux Journal in August 2002. The Embedded Linux Journal Online existed only from July through November 2002; it too is covered here.
The Embedded Linux Journal has a World-Wide Web site at
and the online version is at
With a few exceptions during its first year, the Linux Journal has appeared monthly. It is unusual in that there are not separate volume and issue numbers; each issue is numbered sequentially without regard to year boundaries, so that issue number is recorded as a volume number in the entries below.
At version 2.96, the COMPLETE year coverage looked like this:
1994 ( 155) 2002 ( 346) 2010 ( 182)
1995 ( 229) 2003 ( 259) 2011 ( 200)
1996 ( 212) 2004 ( 244) 2012 ( 171)
1997 ( 290) 2005 ( 241) 2013 ( 169)
1998 ( 305) 2006 ( 154) 2014 ( 165)
1999 ( 350) 2007 ( 1) 2015 ( 143)
2000 ( 421) 2008 ( 1) 2016 ( 61)

The initial entries in this bibliography at version 1.00 were derived entirely from data at the journal's World Wide Web site:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues
http://noframes.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues
The www and noframes hosts are roughly equivalent, but the www one uses frames, making it difficult to have links into Web pages. The bibsource and URL data in the BibTeX entries below therefore use the noframes host.
Unfortunately, the Web data lacks article page numbers. This deficiency will be remedied if alternate sources of bibliographic information for this journal can be found. It is not covered in the Compendex or OCLC Content1st databases.
Although common usage refers to the operating system as ``Linux'' (from Linus (Torvalds) and Minix, a UNIX-like operating system developed by Andrew S. Tanenbaum), the bulk of the source code used to create a complete running system comes from the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project (GNU is Not UNIX), so the system is more properly referred to as the ``GNU system with the Linux kernel'', or GNU/Linux for short.
From the GNU jargon file, the 24-Jul-1996 edition of the online form of the New Hacker's Dictionary, by Eric Raymond and Guy L. Steele, Jr., second edition, MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, USA, 1993, ISBN 0-262-18154-1, we cite this entry:
:Linux:: /lee'nuhks/ or /li'nuks/, *not* /li:'nuhks/ /n./ The free Unix workalike created by Linus Torvalds and friends starting about 1990 (the pronunciation /lee'nuhks/ is preferred because the name `Linus' has an /ee/ sound in Swedish). This may be the most remarkable hacker project in history --- an entire clone of Unix for 386, 486 and Pentium micros, distributed for free with sources over the net (ports to Alpha and Sparc-based machines are underway). This is what {GNU} aimed to be, but the Free Software Foundation has not (as of early 1996) produced the kernel to go with its Unix toolset (which Linux uses). Other, similar efforts like FreeBSD and NetBSD have been much less successful. The secret of Linux's success seems to be that Linus worked much harder early on to keep the development process open and recruit other hackers, creating a snowball effect.
Numerous errors in the sources noted above have been corrected. Spelling has been verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell programs using the exception dictionary stored in the companion file with extension .sok.
BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen as name:year:abbrev, where name is the family name of the first author or editor, year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a 3-letter condensation of important title words. Citation tags were automatically generated by software developed for the BibNet Project.
In this bibliography, entries are sorted in publication order. This would normally be done by ``bibsort -byvolume'', but until correct page number information is available, bibsort cannot be used, because it would incorrectly alter the entry order.
The checksum field above contains a CRC-16 checksum as the first value, followed by the equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word count) utility output of lines, words, and characters. This is produced by Robert Solovay's checksum utility.
