The feature articles usually focus on a variety of linux-related topics. The articles are usually between five and ten pages and are usually interesting. The departments cover a lot of bases.

Newbies usually focuses on a fundamental linux principle, particularly ones that differ from the Windows environment. The column is written each month by Bill McCarty, who has a knack for explaining basic ideas in a simple and easy to understand language. In The Trenches focuses on linux in terms of a business perspective and how it can be used for real world commercial and industrial computing situations. On The Desktop is about desktop applications for linux, usually in terms of finding parallels for applications found for windows. Guru Guidance seems to vary greatly from topic to topic each month, but is usually interesting.
