Linux For You already includes every release of Fedora the month after 
it has been released IIRC. Fedora is pretty popular in India but LFY 
doesn't reach everywhere and people are not aware of the magazine of 
that it includes Fedora for that particular month. Pointing more people 
to magazines like this is a pretty good idea and one I have done so 
personally on a few occasions.
