TUX is the "first and only magazine for the new [GNU]Linux user". See http://www.tuxmagazine.com Currently issue number 8 (November 2005) is available on "the stands". What more, it's available for a free download.
I did download the issue of May 2005. (More recent issues can also be downloaded for free, right upto the Nov 2005 issue.) Just as an illustration, here are some of the easy-to-understand articles it contains:
